Every sunrise is different. Most are forgettable. A few stop you cold. We study tomorrow's atmosphere tonight and tell you honestly — is it worth the early alarm?
Tomorrow Morning
Predictions available from 6 PM IST
Tomorrow's atmospheric conditions — what you'll see, whether it's worth the trip.
The Craft
Others penalise cloud cover. We don't. A clear sky at dawn is often flat and pale. No drama, no colour. The fires happen when broken clouds hang low enough to catch the first light from below the horizon. We score the sky accordingly.
Low humidity means crisp, saturated reds and golds. High humidity scatters and mutes. The same sky looks washed out through humid air. We factor atmospheric moisture alongside cloud cover, because both determine what your sensor actually captures.
Marina's 13 kilometre flat expanse reads differently to Covelong's rock formations. The same cloud pattern calls for different compositions, different timing, different focal lengths. Our photography guidance is specific to your beach, not generic sunrise advice.
Most photographers arrive at sunrise. The professionals arrive earlier. The sky's most dramatic colours appear in the window before the sun clears the horizon, the civil twilight. We mark this window precisely for tomorrow's exact sunrise time at your beach.
