Our good friends in Olympia recently announced two proposed razor-clam digs on WA ocean beaches later this month and again in mid-April.razor-clamming-in-wa-state

As is typical, the final go ahead for both digs will depend upon results of marine toxin tests to determine if the clams are safe to eat.

Clam digging enthusiasts should take note that the first opening – scheduled March 26-April 1 at various ocean beaches – starts on evening tides, while the last four days switch to morning tides.

The proposed days, tides and beach openings for this month’s dig are as follows:

  • Friday, March 26, (4:29 p.m., +0.1) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Kalaloch
  • Saturday, March 27, (5:19 p.m., -0.1) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks, Kalaloch
  • Sunday, March 28, (6:04 p.m., 0.0) Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis, Mocrocks
  • Monday, March 29, (6:35 A.M., -0.1) Long Beach and Twin Harbors only
  • Tuesday, March 30, (7:22 A.M., -0.7) Long Beach and Twin Harbors only
  • Wednesday, March 31, (8:07 A.M., -1.0) Long Beach and Twin Harbors only
  • Thursday, April 1, (8:52 A.M., -1.0) Long Beach and Twin Harbors only

The second dig is also tentatively scheduled on morning tides in mid-April on the following days and beaches:

  • Friday,  April 16, (8:32 A.M., -0.7) Long Beach and Twin Harbors only
  • Saturday,  April 17, (9:12 A.M., -0.7) Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Kalaloch only
  • Sunday, April 18, (9:56 A.M., -0.6) Long Beach, Twin Harbors and Kalaloch only

Remember that your 2009-10 annual shell-fishing license is good through March 31st. However, a new license is needed for the April dig.
