What is a minus tide and why does it matter for razor clams?

A minus tide is a low tide below the MLLW datum, shown here as a negative height. The lower the tide, the more of the clam beds are exposed; WDFW schedules digs on the lowest tides, and the best digging runs from about two hours before low tide to half an hour after.
