Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-18

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
Category 1 indicates no flooding risk. Tides are at routine levels, and normal atmospheric pressure keeps conditions stable.

WHEN
High tides around 12:30 PM and 10:06 PM, but neither is expected to pose a flood threat.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tidal height and slightly above-normal pressure were the primary factors, with negligible onshore wind and no high tide flooding signals. Recent historical parallels include similar Cat 1 conditions observed on 2024-06-14.

Day 2: 2026-09-19

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
Still no flooding threat — the day remains at Category 1. Tidal levels remain moderate, pressure is near normal, and wind influence is minimal.

WHEN
Peak tides around 1:54 PM and 11:30 PM, with no significant flooding concerns.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the dominant factor, but it remains below flood thresholds. Pressure stayed near normal, and wind contribution was minor. This lines up with past Cat 1 events such as on 2021-05-07.

Day 3: 2026-09-20

CATEGORY 1

WHAT
Another low-risk day at Category 1. Tides are not high enough to cause flooding, and pressure remains close to normal.

WHEN
Peak tide near 3:00 PM, carrying no flood risk.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tide was the main contributor to the forecast, and onshore wind remained minimal. This is similar to the 2024-09-27 Cat 1 event.
