Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-04

CATEGORY [2]

WHAT Category 2 conditions, indicating no immediate flood risk. Regular high tide is the primary factor, and slight low-pressure influence is not enough to create flooding concerns.

WHEN Peak water levels in the morning around 9:36 AM and again in the evening near 9:36 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING The regular tide was the biggest contributor, with some minor support from slightly below-normal pressure. Onshore wind was negligible. All ensemble models agree on Category 2, with no sign of higher-impact scenarios.

Day 2: 2026-08-05

CATEGORY [2]

WHAT Category 2 conditions remain, signaling no flood risk. Slightly below-normal pressure combines with moderate tides and minimal wind effects.

WHEN Highest water levels are expected in the late morning around 10:54 AM and again close to 10:12 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tide is the main factor driving conditions, with a small additional contribution from below-normal pressure. Onshore wind is weak, and there's full agreement among forecast models at Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-08-06

CATEGORY [2]

WHAT Continued Category 2 conditions, with no significant flooding risk. The tide is modest, and pressure is near normal, keeping water levels in check.

WHEN Tidal peaks around 10:48 AM and 11:54 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING The moderate astronomical tide and near-normal pressure are the primary drivers. Onshore wind adds virtually no effect. Forecast models again concur on Category 2 with no sign of elevated flooding scenarios.
