WDFW approves six days of razor clam digging on select Washington Beaches @ Check Website for Open Beaches and Low Tides
Feb 17 all-day

Six days of razor clam digging at Mocrocks beaches starts Friday, Feb. 17, Copalis Beach opens Saturday, Feb. 18

OLYMPIA – Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) shellfish managers today confirmed razor clam digging reopens at Mocrocks beaches Friday, Feb. 17 followed by opportunities Feb. 19 and Feb. 21. This is in addition to Copalis Beach open on Saturday, Feb.18, Feb. 20, and Feb. 22.

“The forecast looks good for another six days of razor clam harvest on Copalis and Mocrocks only,” said Bryce Blumenthal, a WDFW coastal shellfish biologist. “That combined with later sunsets and deeper low tides should provide plenty of opportunity for successful digging.”

The following digs during evening (p.m.) low tides will proceed as scheduled:

  1. Feb. 17, Friday, 4:29 p.m.; -0.7 feet; Mocrocks
  2. Feb. 18, Saturday, 5:19 p.m.; -1.2 feet; Copalis
  3. Feb. 19, Sunday, 6:04 p.m.; -1.5 feet; Mocrocks
  4. Feb. 20, Monday, 6:46 p.m.; -1.4 feet; Copalis
  5. Feb. 21, Tuesday, 7:26 p.m.; -1.0 feet; Mocrocks
  6. Feb. 22, Wednesday, 8:05 p.m.; -0.3 feet; Copalis

The Washington Department of Health (WDOH) labs indicate domoic acid levels at Long Beach and Twin Harbors beaches were still above the health guideline levels. WDFW will announce future digging opportunities when marine toxin tests show it is safe to do so.

Domoic acid, a natural toxin produced by certain types of marine algae, can be harmful or fatal if consumed in sufficient quantities. WDFW shellfish staff will continue to regularly dig test samples of razor clams to monitor the situation. WDOH requires two test samples taken around seven days apart, must fall under the health guideline level before a beach can reopen for razor clam digging. More information about domoic acid, as well as current levels at ocean beaches, can be found on WDFW’s domoic acid webpage.

The daily limit is 15 razor clams per person. Under state law, a daily limit consists of the first 15 clams dug regardless of size or condition, and each digger’s clams must be kept in a separate container. Digging is prohibited in the razor clam reserve located just south of the Ocean City approach on Copalis, which are marked by 10-foot poles with signs. The most successful digging occurs between one and two hours before the listed time of low tide.

All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable fishing license to harvest razor clams on any beach. Licenses may be purchased on WDFW’s licensing website, and from hundreds of license vendors around the state. WDFW recommends buying your license before visiting coastal beach communities.

For additional details, go to the WDFW’s razor clam webpage and the DOH webpage. To be notified of in-season rule changes as they are announced sign up for email notifications at wdfw.wa.gov/about/lists.
