Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-24

Category 1

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected on this day. A routine high astronomical tide with nearly normal pressure is not sufficient to produce flood conditions.

WHEN
Main high tide periods will occur early in the morning (around 2:18 AM) and again in the late afternoon (around 5:06 PM).

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the main driver for today's category, but it remains too low to pose any real flood threat. Light winds reduced any chance of surge. This outcome is similar to prior Category 1 conditions observed on 2026-08-04.

Day 2: 2026-08-25

Category 2

WHAT
Still no flooding risk despite a slightly higher tide. Pressure is a bit lower than on the prior day, but not enough to cause flood concerns.

WHEN
Peak water levels in the early morning near 3:12 AM and the late afternoon near 5:30 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tides are the main factor today, with a small contribution from below-normal pressure. Onshore wind is minimal and does not add appreciable risk.

Day 3: 2026-08-26

Category 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. Tides remain moderate, and neither wind nor pressure conditions are conducive to flooding.

WHEN
High tides occur around 3:54 AM and 5:54 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A moderately high astronomical tide is the primary factor for the Category 2 rating. Pressure is near normal, and wind remains minimal, providing little additional impact.
