- How accurate are these times?
- Within about a minute. They come from the NOAA solar position formulas computed for 34.02°N, 118.49°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.
