Sunrise today lands at 05:50 and sunset at 06:24 local time, giving 12h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.39, -91.32) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Cruz.
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.
