Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-10

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
A routine day with no flooding risk, as indicated by Category 1. Tides and slightly below-normal pressure have minimal effects, and onshore wind is negligible.

WHEN
Peak high tides early morning near 2:12 AM and late afternoon near 5:24 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Astronomical tide was the primary factor, with a small contribution from pressure. No meaningful onshore wind or high tide flooding signal is present. Conditions resemble past low-impact (Cat 1) events such as 2026-07-31.

Day 2: 2026-08-11

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
This remains a low-risk situation, though slightly higher than the prior day. Modestly elevated tide and near-normal pressure keep the classification at Category 2.

WHEN
Peak high tides early morning near 3:12 AM and early evening around 6:00 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate astronomical tide is the main driver, with minor influence from relatively normal pressure. Onshore wind still does not significantly add to water levels.

Day 3: 2026-08-12

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Another day with low flood risk. Slightly lower pressure than normal combines with moderate tidal levels, keeping the classification at Category 2.

WHEN
Peak high tides predawn around 4:12 AM and evening near 6:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide remains the largest factor, with modest influence from below-normal pressure. Onshore wind and other flood triggers do not significantly contribute.
