About the time in Surf City
Surf City sits at latitude 34.43, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 16m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Surf City runs on America/New_York, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Surf City day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 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.
