Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-14

Category 2

WHAT A routine tide pattern with no flooding risk. The moderate astronomical tide height is the primary driver, with slightly below-normal pressure giving a marginal boost.

WHEN Peak tides are expected in the early morning around 6:06 AM and again in the evening near 7:30 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide contributed the most to the classification, with minor support from the near-normal pressure. Onshore wind remained minimal, and all model runs agree on Category 2 with no higher-tail scenario.

Day 2: 2026-08-15

Category 2

WHAT Again, a routine situation with no flooding threat. Moderately high tidal levels drive the category, with normal atmospheric conditions offering little additional effect.

WHEN The main high tides occur in the morning around 7:06 AM and in the evening near 8:00 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Astronomical tides are the primary factor, and pressure remains near-normal. Wind influence is negligible. The ensemble shows consistent agreement at Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-08-16

Category 2

WHAT No risk of flooding. The tide remains moderately elevated, but pressure is stable and wind effects are minimal.

WHEN Highest tidal influence is expected around 8:00 AM and later near 8:30 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Slightly elevated tide is the main contributor, with minor help from normal-to-high pressure. There is no significant wind component, and the forecast ensemble unanimously indicates Category 2.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
