The earliest sunset of the year is at 18:08 on 29 October; the latest is 18:39 on 6 February. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 05:57 on 7 November to 06:28 on 15 February.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 6m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Guayaquil different

Clock noon and solar noon are 22 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:21 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

Light lingers for 21 minutes after sunset before civil twilight ends — 3 minutes shorter than the 24-minute median across tracked cities, which is what 2.2°S buys you.

Over a year the sunset point slides 47° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is W.

On 15 March and 28 September the midday sun stands at the zenith, 197 days apart. Those are the only two days of the year with no noon shadow. The next one is in 5 weeks.

Sunset lands at close to the same time all year — the annual spread in day length is only 15 minutes, compared with about 8.8 hours at London's latitude.

The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 June, 2 months ago, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 4 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.

Planning a sunset photo in Guayaquil

Arrive by 17:40. Golden hour opens at 17:55 and the sun is down by 18:23, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 280° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:36 and runs to 18:44, the end of civil twilight and 21m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Guayaquil — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
