Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-05

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A Category 2 event indicates no flooding risk. Slightly higher tide and somewhat lower-than-average pressure will occur, but conditions remain routine with minimal wind influence.

WHEN
Peak tides are expected late morning near 10:54 AM and again in the late evening around 10:12 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide and slightly below-normal pressure were the main contributors in raising the classification to Category 2. Onshore wind was minimal, and there is no elevated high tide flooding vulnerability this day. No ensemble spread beyond Category 2 was indicated.

Day 2: 2026-08-06

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
This is a routine Category 1 forecast with no flood risk. Tides are moderate, and pressure is a bit below normal, but not enough to cause concerns.

WHEN
The highest tide occurs late in the evening near 11:00 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tide and slightly below-normal pressure were the primary factors, though both remain well within non-flooding thresholds. Conditions are similar to 2022-07-29, which was also a Category 1 event.

Day 3: 2026-08-07

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
Again, a routine Category 1 day with no flood risk. The tide is moderate, and pressure is near normal, with negligible onshore wind influence.

WHEN
Look for tide peaks around midafternoon (2:30 PM) and near midnight (11:54 PM).

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tide and near-normal pressure resulted in a low overall score. Wind did not meaningfully contribute to any flood concerns. This day is similar to 2024-09-13 (Cat 1).
