About the time in Santa Cruz
Sunrise today lands at 06:18 and sunset at 07:06 local time, giving 12h 48m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (24.89, -100.11) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Cruz.
Around 225 people live in Santa Cruz, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Santa Cruz day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
