Los Angeles, United States - July 15, 2026 07/14/2026 10:00 PM GMT-0700 LONG BEACH, Calif. – A king tide occurred this evening near the intersection of 2nd Street and Bayshore Avenue. The tidal conditions caused water to surge over the steps, submerging a beach area. The rising tide also spilled onto the road and sidewalk, with projections indicating tides exceeding 7 feet. King tides are natural and occur when the Earth, moon, and sun align in a way that creates higher than normal tides. In Long Beach, California, king tides can significantly impact coastal areas, often causing localized flooding and erosion. These occurrences are most common during winter months and can provide insight into how rising sea levels may affect coastal infrastructure in the future.
