Frequently asked
Will the sunset be good tonight in Honolulu?
The live score above pulls today's forecast and runs it through GoldCast's scoring model. Above 70 is worth going out. Below 40, stay home. The score updates daily.
What makes a good sunset in Honolulu?
Honolulu faces the open Pacific to the west, with Diamond Head to the east providing one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the world. Trade wind clouds often break up beautifully at golden hour, catching color across a wide sky. Tantalus Lookout and Magic Island at Ala Moana give you the best western vantage points. Waimea Bay on the North Shore is worth the drive when conditions are right, with the sun dropping directly over open ocean.
What time is sunset in Honolulu tonight?
Honolulu sunset ranges from around 5:55 PM in December to 7:15 PM in June — one of the narrowest seasonal ranges in the US due to its tropical latitude. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
