There is a new moon during the *daytime* and this occurs about every 29.53 days. The exact time and date will vary by location on the Earth.
For the new moon phase, the Moon is along the direct line between the Earth and the Sun, so that there is practically none of the illuminated surface visible from Earth.
In August, 2011, New Moon is the night of August 28th. Note that "New Moon" visually doesn't appear - there is no moon to seeon the night of "new moon".
