Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 35m of daylight.

Planning a sunset photo in Svolvær
Arrive by 19:30. Golden hour opens at 19:45 and the sun is down by 21:05, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 302° 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 21:48 and runs to 22:18, the end of civil twilight and 1h 13m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
