The primary risk associated with king tides is coastal flooding, which can damage homes, roads, and other infrastructure in vulnerable areas. In Long Beach, the construction of a sand berm is a critical step to shield residential areas from water intrusion. Additionally, king tides can exacerbate coastal erosion, potentially leading to long-term impacts on the shoreline. Residents and businesses near the coast are advised to remain vigilant, as these events can also disrupt transportation and local activities.
