Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-24

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
This day is classified as Category 2, indicating no flooding threat is expected. Moderate tidal levels and slightly below normal pressure contribute modestly, while onshore wind remains minimal.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected early morning around 3:48 AM and again in the late afternoon near 4:48 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tides were the primary factor elevating water levels, followed by a small boost from slightly below normal pressure. The onshore wind effect is too minor to raise concern.


Day 2: 2026-09-25

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Another Category 2 day with no flooding concerns. Tidal conditions drive the forecast, and below normal pressure provides only a small additional influence.

WHEN
Highest water levels will occur early morning near 4:30 AM and late afternoon around 5:06 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide was the main contributor to water levels. Slightly lower pressure adds a minor influence, and wind effects are negligible.


Day 3: 2026-09-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Category 2 conditions continue, signifying no flood risk. Tidal height is the key factor, with pressure and wind playing minimal roles.

WHEN
Expect higher water in the early morning around 5:12 AM and again in the evening near 5:30 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tides are the primary driver for the water level. Pressure is near or just above normal, and onshore wind remains weak, so no flooding is expected.
