Sunrise today lands at 05:54 and sunset at 06:28 local time, giving 12h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.38, -92.30) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Cruz.
Clocks in Santa Cruz stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −6 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Mexico.
