A closer look at the sky over Ocean Shores
On September 23, 2026, the sun is above Ocean Shores for 12h 7m — rising at 7:05 AM toward 89° E, reaching its high point at 1:08 PM, and setting at 7:11 PM toward 270° W. Those two horizon moments anchor the day's best light.
That gives an evening golden hour of 6:31 PM – 7:33 PM (about 1h 1m) followed by the cooler 7:33 PM – 7:42 PM blue hour once the sun is down; early risers get the same in reverse, with blue hour at 6:34 AM – 6:43 AM and a morning golden hour of 6:43 AM – 7:45 AM. Civil twilight finally ends — full dusk — at 7:42 PM.
After dark, the moon over Ocean Shores is a waxing gibbous at 91% illumination, rising at 5:59 PM toward 107° ESE. The city sits at 47.0°N, which brings a wide seasonal swing in day length: through September the days are drawing in and the point where it sets is sliding back toward the south, so every one of these times drifts gradually from day to day. The planner above recomputes all of them for whatever date you select.
