Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-22

CATEGORY 1

WHAT Category 1 conditions mean there is no flood risk expected. Slightly elevated tide levels and modest pressure changes are present, but the wind is minimal and does not contribute to flooding concerns.

WHEN Highest tide arrives in the mid-afternoon near 3:54 PM, but levels are still below any flood threshold.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide was the main factor in determining the category, with a small contribution from pressure. Onshore wind was negligible. This day’s conditions are similar to 2026-08-08 (Cat 1).


Day 2: 2026-08-23

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No flood risk is expected. The slightly higher tide remains well below critical flood levels, and pressure is a bit above normal, further reducing any risk.

WHEN Peak tide occurs in the late afternoon around 4:36 PM, but does not pose a flood threat.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING A modest tide is the primary factor, with minor pressure influence and little wind contribution. Conditions are similar to 2025-10-03 (Cat 1).


Day 3: 2026-08-24

CATEGORY 1

WHAT No flood concerns are forecast. Although the tide is marginally higher this day, the wind influence is actually slightly unfavorable for onshore push, and overall conditions remain well below flood thresholds.

WHEN Highest tide is expected around 5:06 PM but is still too low to cause any inundation.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide remains the main driver, with near-normal pressure and negative wind contribution reducing any flood risk. Conditions resemble 2026-08-11 (Cat 1).
