Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-03

Category 2

WHAT
A routine tidal pattern is expected with no flooding concerns. The moderate tide level is the primary driver, but conditions remain below any flood thresholds.

WHEN
Peak high tide will occur in the evening near 9:06 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide is the main factor, with a small positive contribution from pressure. Onshore wind is minimal, so overall conditions remain well within normal bounds. Ensemble models all agree on Category 2, with no higher-tail scenario.

Day 2: 2026-08-04

Category 2

WHAT
Another routine day with no flooding expected. The slightly elevated tide and near to modestly below-normal pressure do not reach flood thresholds.

WHEN
Highest tidal levels will occur late evening around 9:36 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide is again the main contributor, with below-normal pressure adding a small effect. Onshore wind is minimal. There is no uncertainty spread in the ensemble, so Category 2 is consistent.

Day 3: 2026-08-05

Category 2

WHAT
Still in a routine pattern with no flooding concerns. The tide and modestly low pressure remain insufficient to cause flooding.

WHEN
Peak tide is expected late evening around 10:12 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A moderate tide combines with slightly below-normal pressure, while onshore wind remains minimal. Ensemble guidance shows consensus at Category 2 with no sign of higher impact.
