Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-10-01

Category 2

WHAT
A routine day with no flooding risk expected. Moderate tide height is the primary driver, with a small positive effect from pressure.

WHEN
Peak water levels near 9:36 AM and again around 8:06 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate astronomical tide is the main factor, with slight support from higher-than-average pressure. Onshore wind does not contribute noticeably. All models agree on Category 2.

Day 2: 2026-10-02

Category 1

WHAT
No flood threat for this day; the tide is somewhat elevated, but below thresholds of concern. Pressure provides a minor positive influence.

WHEN
Highest tides in late morning around 10:54 AM and again in the evening near 8:54 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide and slightly below-normal pressure each contribute a small effect, while wind remains minimal. This is similar to the 2026-08-27 Cat 1 event.

Day 3: 2026-10-03

Category 1

WHAT
Again, no flood potential is expected. Tides do rise, but winds actually offset a bit of the tide’s impact.

WHEN
Peak levels occur around 12:24 PM and later at about 10:12 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
A mild tide influence interacts with slightly above-normal pressure. Light offshore wind reduces the overall risk. This is similar to the 2026-08-10 Cat 1 event.
