Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-11

Category [2]

WHAT A routine day with no flooding expected (Category 2). Moderate high tide is the primary contributor, while near-normal pressure and negligible onshore wind provide only minor support.

WHEN Peak tides likely in the early morning near 3:12 AM and again in the evening around 6:00 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide height dominated the classification, aided slightly by relatively normal pressure. Wind was essentially neutral, so overall flooding potential remains minimal.

Day 2: 2026-08-12

Category [2]

WHAT Another routine day (Category 2), mainly driven by an elevated tide. Pressure is somewhat lower than the previous day but still not low enough to elevate flood concerns.

WHEN Highest tides forecast near 4:12 AM and around 6:30 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide is the largest factor in today's classification, with a slight additional effect from below-normal pressure. Wind influence is minimal.

Day 3: 2026-08-13

Category [2]

WHAT Still in the no-flood-risk range (Category 2), with a relatively high astronomical tide and somewhat below-normal pressure. An offshore wind component slightly reduces the overall risk.

WHEN Key tide peaks will be early morning near 5:12 AM and evening around 7:00 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide remains the main contributor. Below-normal pressure provides modest support, but the offshore wind subtracts a small amount of flood potential.
