Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-09

Category 2

WHAT A routine high tide is expected, with no risk of flooding. Overall conditions are calm, and water levels should remain below flood thresholds.

WHEN Peak water levels are expected in the early morning around 3:30 AM and again in the late afternoon near 5:18 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide is the main driver for this classification, with near-normal pressure and minimal onshore wind. These factors are not strong enough to pose a flooding concern.

Day 2: 2026-09-10

Category 2

WHAT No flooding risk is expected. Although pressure is slightly lower than day 1, the tide remains moderate and should not cause inundation.

WHEN Highest water levels are in the early morning near 4:30 AM and again toward evening around 5:42 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING A moderate astronomical tide combined with marginally below-normal pressure leads to a similar outcome as the previous day. Wind contributes little to the overall risk.

Day 3: 2026-09-11

Category 2

WHAT Conditions remain stable, with only routine high tide influences. No flooding hazards are anticipated.

WHEN Peak water levels occur around 5:24 AM and again in the early evening around 6:06 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
