I have dug clams on a 2 ft hold up and done well. You have to work harder for them and be able to dig in the water, but they are there.
Think of it this way. If you have a 11 ft high tide at noon and a -1 ft tide at 6 pm, the tide is dropping 12 ft in 6 hrs. That is 2 ft per hr. Nobody thinks anything about getting to the beach 2 hrs. to low water. That means the tide still has approximately 4 feet to drop until slack low tide. And if the low tide is -1 ft., add 4 ft to that and at 2 hrs to low water, the tide is a plus 3 ft. at that point in time, and people are getting clams then.

No worries at all. On a -1.0, I’m often done 2 hours before low tide. So that’s probably +2? In the surf, but dry beach at +1.0 I imagine.

Easy dig today on a .1 tide. Limits in 15 minutes. Great sunset to boot.
