What it's like here
The hill. Line-of-sight to Catalina on a clear day, and high enough that sunset runs a minute or two later up top than it does at the water.

Questions
- What is the moon phase tonight in Palos Verdes?
- The moon over Palos Verdes on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 is a new moon, 2% illuminated.
- When is the next full moon?
- Friday, September 25, 2026 — the moon is the same phase everywhere on Earth, so this holds well beyond Palos Verdes.
- When is the next new moon?
- Thursday, September 10, 2026. New moon is the darkest sky of the month, which is what you want for stars.
- What time zone are these times in?
- Pacific time — PDT in summer, PST in winter. Palos Verdes observes daylight saving, so the clock times here already account for the shift.
- How accurate are these times?
- Within about a minute. They come from the NOAA solar position formulas computed for 33.77°N, 118.39°W, and they assume a flat horizon — hills, buildings, or marine layer will move what you actually see.
Sun and moon are computed from the NOAA solar formulas and the standard synodic model — no forecast, no API, nothing to go stale. Tide is never computed here; it comes from NOAA or it is absent. Machine-readable version.
