Category 1 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-07

Category 1

WHAT
Category 1, indicating no flooding risk. The primary influence is a moderate astronomical tide, with near-normal pressure and minimal wind.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected around mid-afternoon near 2:30 PM and again late at night near 11:54 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide contributed the most, but not enough for concern. Pressure was near normal, and onshore wind was negligible. Similar conditions occurred on 2021-07-02 (also a Category 1 event).

Day 2: 2026-08-08

Category 1

WHAT
Still Category 1, with no flood concerns. Slightly lower tide influence and near-normal barometric pressure keep conditions routine.

WHEN
Highest tide is expected during mid-afternoon around 3:48 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A regular tidal cycle is the main factor, with pressure remaining close to seasonal norms and little wind effect. Analog data shows conditions similar to 2021-07-02 (a past Category 1).

Day 3: 2026-08-09

Category 1

WHAT
Category 1 again signals no flood risk. Modest tides and generally normal pressure do not pose any threat of inundation.

WHEN
The principal tide peaks late afternoon near 4:42 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide is the biggest contributor, but remains below flood concern levels. Pressure and wind are minimal factors. Conditions resemble 2026-03-14 (also Category 1).
