Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-08

Category 2

WHAT
No flood risk is expected. Slightly higher-than-usual tide is the main factor today, but overall conditions remain routine.

WHEN
Peak water levels around 2:24 AM and again near 4:48 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Today’s category is driven mostly by a moderately high astronomical tide. Pressure is slightly above normal, and onshore wind is minimal, keeping the overall risk low.

Day 2: 2026-09-09

Category 2

WHAT
No flood risk is expected. An elevated tide is present, but conditions remain benign.

WHEN
Higher tidal stages occur early morning around 3:30 AM and late afternoon near 5:18 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tidal influence is again the primary factor. The pressure remains near normal, and winds provide little additional effect, resulting in no significant flood threat.

Day 3: 2026-09-10

Category 2

WHAT
No flood risk is expected. Tides are somewhat elevated, but not enough to pose a flooding concern.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected early morning around 4:30 AM and late afternoon near 5:42 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A moderate tide and slightly lower – but still not extreme – pressure combine to keep risk at Category 2. Winds offset some of the tidal effects, resulting in a low overall flood potential.
