Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-08-27

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No flood risk is expected. Tidal levels are the main contributor, with a slight boost from mildly below-normal pressure.

WHEN Higher tides occur around 4:36 AM and again near 6:12 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide was the most significant factor, with minor contribution from pressure. Wind and other factors played little role. All model members agree on Category 2.


Day 2: 2026-08-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No flooding is anticipated. The slightly higher tide remains the primary driver, with minimal support from pressure.

WHEN Peak tide times are around 5:18 AM and 6:30 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Again, the tide dominates, with a small influence from pressure. Wind has a negligible effect. Model consensus is fully at Category 2.

CATEGORY 2

WHAT No flood risk expected. A modest tide increase and slightly lower pressure remain the key factors.

WHEN High tides occur around 6:00 AM and 6:54 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide and an incremental pressure dip primarily explain this Category 2 condition, with negligible wind impact. Ensemble members all show Category 2.
