Sunrise, sunset & daylight at Macleod Harbor

On the water, the light runs the day. First light is when you can start to see the channel; the hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset is the soft golden light anglers and photographers wait for; and last light is your deadline to be back on the mooring. The times on this page are calculated for Macleod Harbor’s exact position and follow the local clock, daylight saving included.

Daylight is not fixed. It swings with the season, and how far it swings depends on latitude. Macleod Harbor runs from about 5h 54m at the shortest day to 18h 50m at the longest. Plan an early start against first light, line up the evening bite with the golden hour and sunset, and cross-check the Macleod Harbor tide chart and marine forecast before you head out.
