Category 2 · NO FLOODING EXPECTED

Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-09-28

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Category 2 means no flood risk is anticipated. The tide height is the primary factor, with near-normal atmospheric pressure and minimal wind contribution.

WHEN
Peak high tides for this day occur in the morning around 6:48 AM and again in the early evening near 6:18 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide was the main driver for reaching Category 2, with slight support from pressure. Onshore wind and other factors contributed very little, keeping the overall risk low.

Day 2: 2026-09-29

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
Again, no flood risk is expected. Moderate tidal levels and slightly below-normal pressure are the main influences, but the wind had negligible effect on the flood category.

WHEN
Highest tides will occur in the morning around 7:42 AM and early evening near 6:48 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Although pressure is a bit lower than on the previous day, the tide remains the dominant factor. The onshore wind isn’t strong enough to raise the category, so overall conditions remain in Category 2.

Day 3: 2026-09-30

CATEGORY 2

WHAT
No flooding risk is expected. The tide remains a primary factor, but pressure is near normal, and winds are light and somewhat offshore.

WHEN
Peak water levels are expected in the morning around 8:36 AM and early evening near 7:24 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide height is still the main contributor. Pressure contributes slightly, while the wind component is small enough to slightly counteract other factors. The ensemble shows consistent agreement, keeping this day at Category 2.
