Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-05

CATEGORY 1

WHAT A routine day with no flood risk. Moderate tidal levels and slightly lower-than-normal pressure do not pose any flooding concerns.

WHEN Peak tides in mid-afternoon near 2:18 PM and again late this evening around 11:36 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The category reflects a moderate tide as the main contributor, with a small positive boost from the pressure factor. Offshore-to-light onshore wind had minimal effect. This is consistent with past Category 1 days.

Day 2: 2026-09-06

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Still no risk of flooding, but slightly higher tide levels keep the day in Category 2.

WHEN Highest tide mid-afternoon around 3:24 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Moderate tide is the primary factor, with a small positive contribution from pressure. Onshore wind influence is minimal, keeping conditions below flooding thresholds.

Day 3: 2026-09-07

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Another day of no flooding concerns, with moderately higher tides but limited reinforcing factors.

WHEN Peak tides in the early morning near 1:06 AM and again mid-afternoon around 4:12 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide height is the largest influence, aided modestly by slightly below-average pressure. Wind contributions remain minimal, so no flooding is expected.
