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 released its tentative schedule of coastal digs for the 2026 season — 40 potential days spread across six date ranges from early October through late December. Hi-Tide sits just minutes from two of the four open beaches, Mocrocks and Copalis, making it one of the most convenient home bases on the coast for a digging trip.
All dates below are tentative. Each dig depends on marine toxin (domoic acid) testing that WDFW typically finalizes about a week or less before a series opens. Always confirm openings on the WDFW razor clams page before you travel.
2026 Tentative Dig Dates
Most successful digging happens one to two hours before the listed low tide. Beach names in blue are the closest to Hi-Tide Resort.
