Every fall, razor clam digging becomes one of the biggest reasons guests book a stay at Hi-Tide Resort. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has approved four days of digging at Copalis and Mocrocks beaches, October 26 to 29. Both beaches are minutes from the resort.
Confirmed Digs: October 26 to 29
Digging is open from noon to midnight only. The most successful digging happens one to two hours before the listed low tide. Only one beach is open each day, so check the beach before you head out.
| Date | Low Tide | Tide Height | Best Digging Window | Beach Open |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mon, Oct 26 | 7:18 PM | −1.2 ft | 5:18 – 6:18 PM | Mocrocks only |
| Tue, Oct 27 | 8:01 PM | −1.5 ft | 6:01 – 7:01 PM | Copalis only |
| Wed, Oct 28 | 8:47 PM | −1.5 ft | 6:47 – 7:47 PM | Copalis only |
| Thu, Oct 29 | 9:38 PM | −1.2 ft | 7:38 – 8:38 PM | Mocrocks only |
Tentative Dates: November and December
These dates come from WDFW’s earlier tentative schedule and are not yet approved. Each series is confirmed about a week ahead, after marine toxin testing. Because Long Beach and Twin Harbors are currently closed, any date below may open at Copalis or Mocrocks only, or not at all. WDFW’s summer stock assessment found fewer razor clams at Copalis and Mocrocks than in recent years, so expect fewer digging days there this season. Beach names in blue are the closest to Hi-Tide Resort.
