Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-10-07

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Overall conditions are expected to remain routine, assigned as Category 2 due to a slightly higher astronomical tide and near-normal pressure. Winds are light and do not add to the flooding risk.

WHEN Peak water level mid-afternoon, around 3:54 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING The primary driver is a moderately elevated tide, with pressure near normal and minimal onshore wind influence. No king tide or other significant factors are present.

Day 2: 2026-10-08

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Another routine day, also Category 2, driven by a modestly elevated tide and slightly below-normal pressure. Onshore winds are negligible.

WHEN Highest tide in the mid-afternoon, near 4:24 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.

REASONING Tide is again the principal factor, with modest support from pressure. Wind remains very light, and no king tide is present.

Day 3: 2026-10-09

CATEGORY 2

WHAT Conditions remain in Category 2, mainly due to a somewhat higher tide and modestly lower pressure. Wind is not expected to push water levels significantly.

WHEN Peak water level late afternoon, around 4:48 PM.

IMPACTS • No impact anticipated.
