Category 1 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-21

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
A routine day with no flooding risk. Tides and atmospheric conditions remain near normal, and winds are light.

WHEN
Peak water level in the afternoon around 2:54 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The tide is moderate for this time of year, and pressure is near normal with nearly no onshore wind. These factors combine to yield a low category result, similar to the conditions observed on 2025-02-07 (which was also Cat 1).

Day 2: 2026-08-22

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
Still no flooding risk expected. The near-normal pressure and moderate onshore wind do not elevate water levels significantly.

WHEN
Higher tides occur around 12:06 AM and again in the mid-afternoon near 3:54 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Though the tide is slightly higher than the previous day, it remains below any concerning threshold. The modest onshore wind and relatively stable pressure keep the overall risk at Category 1. These conditions resemble 2026-06-30 (Cat 1).

Day 3: 2026-08-23

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
No risk of flooding. Moderately high tides and near-normal pressure do not pose any problems.

WHEN
Peak water levels around 1:12 AM and later in the afternoon near 4:36 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A normal summertime tide level and nearly average pressure, with only gentle onshore wind, yield a low flood category. Conditions match prior mild events like 2025-09-12, which was also Cat 1.
