Sunset time, countdown and the Sunset Score are computed live from Open-Meteo’s real cloud forecast at each day’s sunset hour. The in-page cam is an animated preview — tap “live cam” for the real webcam. The Muir Beach Overlook Sunset runs nightly, weather permitting, from about two hours before sunset.
