Does anyone know at what time during the day did the two recent shark attacks occur? I’ve always heard that shark attacks usually take place in the morning, before 10:00am, or in the late afternoon/evening, after 4:00pm.

The general consensus seems to be that between dusk and dawn are the times not to swim, mainly because of the reduced vision for you and the shark.
It’s explained a little better here:
