RAZOR CLAMS
Two ocean beaches shovel-ready for razor clam diggers starting Wednesday Nov. 4
Clam diggers got the go-ahead to proceed with the second razor-clam dig of the fall season starting Wednesday, Nov. 4, on evening tides at two ocean beaches.

SEVERE WEATHER WARNING
Severe weather may prevent razor clam diggers from safely harvesting clams during digs scheduled Nov. 6 and 7 at Long Beach and Twin Harbors. Storm warnings from the National Weather Service predict unusually high waves and dangerous conditions coming up on the coast. Check for updates at http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sew/.
