CommentsTwo ocean beaches will be open for a razor clam dig early next month.
Twin Harbors could open for four late-evening digs Wednesday through Feb. 9, while Long Beach would open Feb. 8 and 9 only. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife will approve the digs if marine toxin tests showed the clams were safe to eat.
As with previous digs this season, digging will be allowed only during the hours between noon and midnight.
The February schedule includes two extra days for Twin Harbors but no days for Mocrocks or Copalis due to the low number of clams available for harvest, said Dan Ayres, state coastal shellfish manager.
Kalaloch is closed for the 2008 season.
The low tides times for the dig are: Wednesday, 6:15 p.m., 0.1 feet; Feb. 7, 6:52 p.m., 0 feet; Feb. 8, 7:27 p.m., +0.1 feet; and Feb 9, 8:02 p.m., +0.4 feet.
