Flood Watch

Redondo Beach, WA

Day 1: 2026-10-15

Category 1

WHAT
A routine day with no risk of flooding. Modest tides will occur, and high atmospheric pressure combined with light onshore wind keeps water levels in check.

WHEN
Peak high tides are expected in the morning near 9:30 AM and again in the evening around 7:42 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tidal levels are the primary factor, while above-normal pressure and minimal wind lessen any flood potential. This day is similar to the 2026-03-06 Cat 1 event.

Day 2: 2026-10-16

Category 1

WHAT
No flooding risk again as slightly lower but still moderate tides and near-normal pressure do not elevate water levels enough for concern.

WHEN
Highest tides will be around 10:30 AM and again near 8:24 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Moderate tides are the main driver, with pressure near typical values and limited onshore wind influence. This is similar to the 2023-02-17 Cat 1 event.

Day 3: 2026-10-17

Category 1

WHAT
A continued pattern of quiet conditions. Tides remain modest, and wind effects will not raise levels significantly.

WHEN
Peak tidal influence is around 11:36 AM and again near 9:24 PM.

IMPACTS
• No impact anticipated.

REASONING
Tidal levels provide the core contribution, but near-normal pressure and moderate onshore wind do not push the forecast beyond Category 1. This is similar to the 2026-03-14 Cat 1 event.
