Los Angeles, United States - July 14, 2026 07/14/2026 01:00 am GMT-0700 LONG BEACH, Calif. – Residents along the 26 block of 68th Place placed sand barriers and sandbags around homes as king tides brought unusually high water levels to the Southern California coast. High tide in Long Beach reached about 7 feet, increasing the risk of localized flooding in low-lying and vulnerable coastal areas. Coastal communities were monitoring conditions as residents took preventive measures to protect homes from possible wave activity and rising seawater.
