What time is low tide in Kalaloch today?

Low tide in Kalaloch today is at 6:02 AM (0.7 ft) and 6:35 PM (0.1 ft); high tide at 12:14 PM (9.1 ft). Heights are feet above MLLW at NOAA station La Push, Quillayute River.

La Push, Quillayute River (station 9442396). There is no NOAA station at Kalaloch; La Push, 35 miles north, is the closest and the one WDFW uses for Kalaloch dig times.

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.
