Category 1 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-19

Category 1

WHAT Category 1 indicates no risk of flooding. Tides are moderate, with near-normal pressure and minimal wind combining for calm conditions.

WHEN Peak water levels near 11:36 AM and again around 10:12 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The moderate astronomical tide and near-normal pressure are not enough to trigger flooding, and wind contribution is negligible. This is similar to the 2023-09-15 Cat 1 event.

Day 2: 2026-08-20

Category 1

WHAT Category 1 continues to indicate no flood threat. Pressure is near average, and the regular high tide combined with light wind does not raise concern.

WHEN Peak water levels around 1:24 PM and again near 11:00 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tidal levels remain ordinary, and the slightly below-average pressure is not low enough to elevate risk. The onshore wind influence is minimal. This is similar to the 2023-08-25 Cat 1 event.

Day 3: 2026-08-21

Category 1

WHAT Once again, Category 1 signals no flood risk. Tides stay routine, with near-normal pressure and almost no wind contribution.

WHEN Peak water level expected around 2:54 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING A modest tide, typical pressure, and negligible wind keep flood risk at a minimum. This is similar to the 2023-09-22 Cat 1 event.
