Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-10-03

Category 1

WHAT
No flooding is expected on Saturday. Tides are fairly typical, with a slight contribution from higher-than-usual pressure, and negligible onshore winds.

WHEN
Peak tides will occur around midday near 12:24 PM and again in the late evening near 10:12 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide levels are the main factor, though still routine, and pressure is slightly above normal with minimal wind. These conditions are similar to the 2025-05-16 Cat 1 event in the historical record.

Day 2: 2026-10-04

Category 1

WHAT
Sunday will again carry no risk of tidal flooding. The primary driver is moderate high tide with minimal wind and a small effect from pressure.

WHEN
Highest tides are expected around 1:48 PM and late night near 11:42 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tide is the main contributor, but remains well below flood thresholds; pressure is only slightly below normal, and wind is negligible. Conditions match past Cat 1 days, such as 2026-06-28.

Day 3: 2026-10-05

Category 1

WHAT
No flood concerns on Monday. Tide is the most significant factor, but not strong enough to pose a risk, and other factors remain benign.

WHEN
Peak tide arrives in mid-afternoon, around 2:42 PM.

IMPACTS
- No impact anticipated.

REASONING
The moderate tide is partly countered by near-normal pressure, and wind remains minimal. This is similar to the 2021-07-16 Cat 1 event conditions.
