Longest and shortest day in San Antonio
The longest day falls on 21 June 2026, 2 months ago, with 14h 1m of daylight.
The shortest is 21 December 2026, in 4 months, with 10h 15m.
Between them the day length swings by 3h 46m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 5:34 pm on 2 December; the latest is 8:37 pm on 30 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 6:33 am on 10 June to 7:50 am on 9 March.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 9m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in San Antonio different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 12:36, a full 36 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 1:36 pm.
It takes roughly 24 minutes to go from sunset to proper darkness, right on the 24-minute median for today.
The shallow approach angle at 29.4° stretches this evening's golden hour to 47 minutes, against about 41 for a city on the equator today.
The gap between the longest and shortest day of the year comes to 3h 46m, one of the narrowest swings of any United States city on the site.
Over a year the sunset point slides 54° along the horizon, from WSW at the December solstice to WNW in June. Today it is WNW.
Across August the sunset moves 29 minutes earlier, averaging about 58 seconds a day.
On 1 November 2026 the local clock shifts back an hour and sunset lands at 5:47 pm instead of 6:48 pm. Worth knowing if you are planning a shoot that week.
Planning a sunset photo in San Antonio
Arrive by 7:16 pm. Golden hour opens at 7:31 pm and the sun is down by 8:03 pm, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° 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 8:18 pm and runs to 8:28 pm, the end of civil twilight and 24m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
