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 SPadre Bay Cam webcam. The Laguna Madre Sunset runs nightly, weather permitting, from about two hours before sunset.

At South Padre Island, the sun sets at 8:15 PM today — about 13h 19m of daylight. Sunrise was 6:56 AM. Live water temperature, surf height, UV index, wind and tide for South Padre Island update at the top of the conditions page.
