Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-02

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. A moderately high tide is the primary factor, with slightly above-normal pressure and minimal wind contribution.

WHEN
Peak tides will occur early morning around 7:36 AM and again in the evening near 8:42 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide level was the main contributor, while pressure added a small positive effect. Wind did not meaningfully affect conditions. Ensemble data also shows no indication of a higher category outcome.

Day 2: 2026-08-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is forecast. Moderate tide and near-normal pressure are driving factors, with minimal onshore wind.

WHEN
Highest tides occur in the morning around 8:30 AM and in the evening near 9:06 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tidal height is the primary factor, with slightly below-normal pressure giving a minor boost. Light offshore wind actually lessens flood potential, keeping the category low. Ensemble guidance remains firmly at Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-08-04

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. The tide remains the main driver, while pressure is somewhat lower but still not at concerning levels, and wind is minimal.

WHEN
Peak tide times around 9:36 AM and 9:36 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A moderately high tide is responsible for most of the estimated level, with slightly below-normal pressure contributing a small amount. Wind is negligible, and the ensemble consistently indicates no higher category.
