“This upcoming tide series will kick off with some Super Bowl weekend daytime digging opportunity,” said Bryce Blumenthal, WDFW’s recreational razor clam manager. “Come dig some razor clams … for your big game buffet or enjoy a Valentine’s Day date dig.”

Not all coastal beaches are open for every dig, so diggers are encouraged to make sure their intended destination is open before heading out. Digging is not allowed before noon during digs when low tide occurs in the afternoon or evening. Most successful digging occurs between one and two hours before the listed time of low tide.

The following digs during evening (noon to midnight only) low tides will proceed as scheduled, after marine toxin results from the state Department of Health showed razor clams are safe to eat:

Tuesday, 5:54 p.m.; -0.5 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks.

Wednesday, 6:29 p.m.; -0.4 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks.

Thursday, 7:01 p.m.; -0.1 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis.

Friday, 7:32 p.m.; 0.4 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis.

Tentative dates during evening (noon to midnight only) low tides for later in February:

Feb. 24, 4:04 p.m.; 0.2 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks.

Feb. 25, 4:46 p.m.; -0.3 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis.

Feb. 26, 5:25 p.m.; -0.6 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis.

Feb. 27, 6:03 p.m.; -0.7 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks.

Feb. 28, 6:39 p.m.; -0.6 feet; Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Mocrocks.
