Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-26

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Category 2 indicates no immediate flood risk. Slightly higher-than-usual tides are present, but other factors remain minimal and should not pose any flooding concern.

WHEN Peak tides around 5:12 AM and 5:30 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The tide is the main factor driving this category, with a very small contribution from pressure. Onshore wind is negligible, keeping the overall risk low.


Day 2: 2026-09-27

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Again at Category 2, conditions continue to show no risk of flooding. Tides are moderately high, but the slightly lower pressure is not enough to trigger flood concerns.

WHEN Peak tides around 6:00 AM and 5:54 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide remains the main contributor. Pressure is slightly below normal but offset by a weak offshore wind component, so overall flooding risk remains minimal.


Day 3: 2026-09-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Category 2 persists with no expected flood risk. Tides remain somewhat elevated, though not enough to cause inundation.

WHEN Peak tides around 6:48 AM and 6:18 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide is again the primary driver, with modest support from slightly below-normal pressure and minimal onshore wind. Although a similar past date (2026-02-01) reached Category 3, current conditions are not expected to rise beyond Category 2.
