Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-03

CATEGORY 2

WHAT A routine tidal setup is expected, categorized at Level 2. The tide is the primary factor today, with near-normal atmospheric pressure and minimal onshore wind.

WHEN Peak water levels will occur around 8:30 AM and again near 9:06 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The main contributor is the moderately high tide, with pressure staying fairly normal and onshore wind making little difference. Model agreement fully supports Category 2, and no higher outcome is indicated by the ensemble.

Day 2: 2026-08-04

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Again classified as Level 2, driven mainly by moderate tidal height and slightly below-normal pressure, but not enough to cause flooding concerns.

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

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide remains the largest factor, and pressure is a bit lower than standard but not critically low. Onshore wind still subtracts from flood risk. The ensemble places all scenarios at Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-08-05

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Another Category 2 day, highlighted by moderate tides and somewhat reduced pressure. Conditions remain below any significant flood threshold.

WHEN Peak tidal levels come around 10:54 AM and again about 10:12 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tidal height is the main driver, and mildly lower pressure adds a small influence. Winds are light onshore, providing no notable increase. All ensemble members converge on Category 2.
