Few open-air venues in this batch shade as well as Pompano Amphitheatre Grounds. Across a typical 7 PM show our model puts it at roughly 83 percent shade overall, one of the higher figures for an outdoor amphitheater in Pompano Beach.
The pit and covered pavilion carry the strongest shade here. Pit 3 reads near 98 percent shaded across the event, and a wide band of pavilion sections, 109, 110, 111, 211 and 212, all sit around 96 percent. If you want to sit through a July show without tracking the sun, that is where to be.
The open lawn is the sunnier choice, though still respectable at this venue. Lawn 1, 2 and 3 come in around 63 percent shade, and pavilion 103 is similar. You will see more direct light on the lawn early, especially with a low western sun in play.
South Florida keeps a relatively early sunset compared with northern venues: in high summer the sun goes down around 8:15 PM here. At 7 PM it sits low, only about 14 to 15 degrees up, bearing west-northwest. That low angle is why the from-6 PM shade figure, near 61 percent, trails the full-event average, the opening stretch is when glare reaches the open seats.
From there the math only improves. As the sun settles toward the horizon the glare lifts off the seating, and once it sets the entire ground is shaded. Later in a show, and later-starting shows, are the easy ones.
