The next razor clam dig opens Saturday at four beaches. Twin Harbors will be open for four days of digging, while Kalaloch will be open for just one day. Here is the digging schedule:
Long Beach, Copalis and Mocrocks: Open Saturday through Monday.
Twin Harbors: Open Saturday through Tuesday.
Kalaloch: Open Monday only.
Low tide times: Saturday, 4:34 p.m., -0.3 feet; Sunday, 5:21 p.m., -0.7 feet; Monday, 6:05 p.m., -0.9 feet; and Tuesday: 6:47 p.m., -0.8 feet.
Digging hours: Digging will be restricted to the hours between noon and midnight. Even with the earlier low tide times, diggers should take some type of light.
Weather conditions: Be sure to check weather and surf forecasts before heading out. During the dig last week, people had to contend with dangerous waves topping 20 feet.
“With the rough weather we had during the last opener, digging dropped off significantly as people played it safe,” said Dan Ayres, state coastal shellfish manager. “On the plus side, there’s likely enough clams remaining in the quota to offer more digs later.”
Additional digs: The next dig is set to start Dec. 2 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors; Dec. 3 at Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks; Dec. 4 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch; and Dec. 5 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch.
The next one would open Dec. 31 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch; Jan. 1 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch; Jan. 2 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks; and Jan. 3 at Twin Harbors.
