Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-07

CATEGORY 2

WHAT A Category 2 event indicates no flood risk. Moderate tidal levels are the primary driver today, with slightly above-average tides and near-normal pressure.

WHEN Peak tides will occur early morning around 1:06 AM and again late afternoon near 4:12 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide was the main contributing factor. Pressure is near normal and wind influence is minimal, so conditions are not expected to rise to flood levels. Model agreement shows no higher category potential for this date.

Day 2: 2026-09-08

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Another Category 2 day with no flood risk forecast. The tide is again the main factor, balanced by normal pressure and a slight negative contribution from the wind.

WHEN Highest tides will occur in the early morning around 2:24 AM and later in the afternoon near 4:48 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tidal levels provide the main push toward higher water, but they remain below flood thresholds. Pressure remains near normal, and wind is not adding any significant onshore component. All models agree on Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-09-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Conditions remain stable at Category 2, indicating no flood risk. Slightly higher tides than the previous days are still not enough to trigger flood concerns.

WHEN Peak tides are expected pre-dawn around 3:30 AM and late afternoon near 5:18 PM.

IMPACTS - No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tides are again the dominant factor, but their height stays below any worrisome threshold. Pressure is near normal, and wind is too light to affect water levels significantly. No models suggest a worse scenario for today.
