Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-07

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
A routine day with slightly above-normal tides that do not pose a flood risk. Overall conditions remain stable, leading to a low category assignment.

WHEN
Highest tides occur around 1:06 AM and again near 4:12 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The modestly elevated tide was the primary factor, with near-normal pressure and negligible onshore wind. All ensemble models agree on Category 2, with no higher tail scenario.

Day 2: 2026-09-08

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Another routine day with slightly higher than normal tides. Winds and pressure remain near or slightly above normal, so no flooding is expected.

WHEN
Peak tides occur around 2:24 AM and 4:48 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Slightly above-normal tide was the main driver; however, minimal wind effect and normal pressure levels keep conditions benign. Ensemble consensus shows no risk beyond Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-09-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Yet another day in a similar pattern: tides are modestly elevated but below flooding thresholds. Light winds and normal pressure maintain low risk.

WHEN
Highest tides are near 3:30 AM and 5:18 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was again the primary contributor, although still below levels that would cause flooding, with near-normal pressure and little wind effect. The ensemble tail also remains at Category 2.
