Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-02

Category 2

WHAT Category 2 conditions with no expected flooding impacts. Primary driver is the moderately high astronomical tide, with a small positive influence from near-normal pressure.

WHEN Peak high tide is expected around 7:36 AM and again near 8:42 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide factor is the predominant contributor, with only slight support from near-normal pressure. Onshore wind is minimal and not expected to contribute to flooding.


Day 2: 2026-08-03

Category 2

WHAT Another Category 2 day with no flood impacts. The main factor remains the relatively high tide, supported by slightly lower than normal pressure.

WHEN High tides occur around 8:30 AM and 9:06 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide is again the main contributor, with modest influence from below-normal pressure. Light onshore winds reduce any additional risk.


Day 3: 2026-08-04

Category 2

WHAT Category 2 conditions persist, still well below flooding thresholds. Slightly reduced barometric pressure combines with a normal seasonal tide.

WHEN Highest tides arrive near 9:36 AM and again around 9:36 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate astronomical tide is the key factor, with a small added boost from slightly below-normal pressure. Onshore wind remains minimal.
