Sunset Time for Cabo San Lucas


NABUMBAH

Recommended Posts

I must sound really lame, but due to the change in daylight saving next year, and the fact that Cabo is on Mountain time I am really confused about the sunset time for our wedding. Even worse is that I have read and heard conflicting stories on when sunset will be. Some sites say 6:30, while others tell me 5:30.

 

I am leaving for 10 days to Asia next Wednesday and really want to get my invites to the printer prior to going. I feel like a dumbass but I can't figure this out. Anyone know or have a reliable site to check it?

That's a tough question with Daylight savings time and all. I thought I had a good website for you, but did further research and got myself confused.

 

It looks like daylight savings time in Baja California Sur, Mexico happens the first Sunday of April. http://www.timetemperature.com/tzmx/mexico_dst.shtml

 

Here is the website I use to determine sunset times http://www.sunrisesunset.com/custom_srss_calendar2.asp

 

Using the above info, it looks like the sunset would be at 6:30pm on March 24, 2007.

 

Tough question, looks like it depends on the day we "spring forward" our clocks. Might want to contact someone in Mexico to make sure.

 

Doubt I helped...but I tried...

thanks Cabobride. I found the same answer through the NOAA website today. Because we're close (time-wise) to the time change it's very difficult to figure out. People that we have spoken with in Cabo are telling us that sunset will be at 5:30... who knows!

I am going to email my coordinator and ask her if she knows.

thanks again! :)

OK, now I'm confused. Here's my understanding (as a March bride) --> DST begins March 11, 2007. Sunset for my date 3/17 is 7:29 pm. Sunset is 7:32 the following Sat 3/24.

 

Until I read this...

MEXICO TIME ZONES

Mexico uses three time zones. Most of the country uses Central Standard Time. The Mexico states of

Chihuahua, Nayarit, Sonora, Sinaloa and Baja California Sur use Mountain Standard Time and Baja California Norte uses Pacific Standard Time.

 

Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the first Sunday in April. On the last Sunday in October areas on Daylight Saving Time fall back to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. The names in each time zone change along with Daylight Saving Time. Central Standard Time (CST) becomes Central Daylight Time (CDT), and so forth. The state of Sonora does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

holy sh-t Christa. I was hoping that you would chime in. This is SOOOO confusing, even more so because I am trying to get my invites done and book a time slot for the mariachi and can't until I have an idea of the sunset time.

 

I was hoping that you would chime in with some advice...

 

Maybe I'll just stick with 5pm. If the sunset is at 6:30 then we're good. At 7:30 we're okay too... .5:30 could be problematic.

 

how is this so hard?!?!

Christa, I think it's around 6:30 per this site

The roman numerals on the bottom represent months, and the numbers on the right represent time (in hours)

 

so per that graph, the time change occurs the first week of April (as you have read) and so the sun will set around 6:30 for our weddings.

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.... here is another answer to this question -

 

per my coordinator just a second ago:

 

24

 

Sunrise: 7:20am

Sunset: 7:32pm

Moonrise: 11:39am

Moonset: 12:56am

 

When I asked her to confirm, this is what she sent:

 

The time calendar I sent you already considers the day light saving time Those are local current times for those dates.

 

Anything else let me know :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
