Sekiu tides

Nestled along the western Strait of Juan de Fuca, Sekiu and neighboring Clallam Bay and Pillar Point offer a rugged mix of gravel beaches, kelp forests, and rocky reefs. While traditional ocean surf breaks are rare inside the Strait, winter storms occasionally bring rideable swell to open points. The rocky shorelines between Clallam Bay and Pillar Point feature vibrant, low-stress tide pooling with sea anemones, sea stars, and hermit crabs. Clamming and shell fishing are popular along the mixed sand and cobble tidelands, particularly for Manila clams and butter clams. Checking tide tables is essential here to pinpoint negative low tides for shellfish harvesting and to ensure safe passage along the narrow beaches beneath coastal bluffs.
