We watch the sources so you don't miss the dig.

ClamClock started with a familiar frustration: finding out a beach got approved a day late, or missing the low-tide window because the final dig dates dropped while you weren't looking.

Razor clam information in the Pacific Northwest is scattered. Fish & Wildlife sets the dig dates. The health department clears the clams for toxins. NOAA has the tides. Each lives in a different place, in a different format, and the final "yes, go" often lands just a few days before the dig. Miss the post and you miss the trip.

So we're building the thing we wanted: a service that watches all of it — WDFW and ODFW dig approvals, the health departments' marine-toxin tests, and the tides — and sends you one clear alert the moment your beach is open and safe, with the low-tide window. No app to download. No ads. No spam. Just the heads-up.

Safety comes first, always

Marine biotoxins can make razor clams dangerous even when a beach is legally open, and cooking doesn't remove them. That's why ClamClock is fail-closed: if we can't confirm a beach is both open and toxin-safe, we never show a green light. Every alert links straight to the official source. We aggregate public information to help you not miss a dig — we are never the final authority. Read our full safety guide →

Built as a small, honest project

ClamClock is an independent project, not affiliated with WDFW, ODFW, or any state agency. It's made by people who'd rather be on the beach with a clam gun. If it helps you catch a dig you'd otherwise have missed, it's doing its job.
