Moclips
is a small town of less than 1,000 residents, located in Grays Harbor County along the west-central coast of Washington. It's located near the mouth of the Moclips River. The town of Moclips has a lot to offer visitors, including antique shopping, art galleries, beachcombing and other outdoor activities. Grays Harbor County is a bird watchers paradise and attracts birders from all over the country. Many search out sea birds on open sea boat trips out of nearby Westport, while others take in birding in Ocean Shores on the Point Brown Peninsula. Ocean Shores has a rich diversity of habitat and has recorded 300 species of birds. Moclips is also a great place for clamming, especially in spring and fall when clam digs along beaches provides lots of fun and excitement for the entire family. Other activities available in Moclips includes horseback riding, surf kayaking, surf fishing and golf. Moclips offers more than six miles of sandy public beaches for horseback riding and you can rent horses on the beach. Surf fishing is good almost everywhere along the coast, but access is best at Moclips and at Ocean City, Roosevelt Beach, Pacific Beach and Moclips.

Moclips Weather & Climate

|
|
West-Central Washingtion, along the coast, has mild summers and cold, wet winters. Severe storms hit Washington's coast during the winter, bringing heavy rains, strong winds, and high waves. Storms blow in about 70 to 100 inches of rain per year, the heaviest precipitation in the U.S. Coastal storm winds regularly top 40 miles per hour. During the summer, fog often moves in along Washington's coast. As the Pacific High, an area of high pressure, cools off over the Pacific Ocean, low stratus clouds form. At night, these clouds move inland as fog. This fog often burns off by mid-day, giving way to sunshine and pleasant temperatures.
