![]() ![]() If you surf the same spot (Pensacola beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Our Pensacola beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. A general guide to surfing at Pensacola beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. The above surf forecast table for Pensacola beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 12 days. Information about the Pensacola beach Surf forecast Warm (max 29☌ on Tue afternoon, min 21☌ on Sat night). Winds decreasing (strong winds from the N on Thu night, light winds from the NNW by Fri night). Warm (max 26☌ on Wed afternoon, min 15☌ on Thu night). Winds increasing (calm on Sun night, fresh winds from the NNE by Wed morning).ĭays 6-9 Weather Summary Light rain (total 7mm), mostly falling on Thu night. Warm (max 31☌ on Mon afternoon, min 17☌ on Tue night). Wind will be generally light.ĭays 3-6 Weather Summary Some drizzle, heaviest during Mon night. Warm (max 32☌ on Thu afternoon, min 23☌ on Thu night). Since hail can cause the rainfall estimates to be higher than what is actually occurring, steps are taken to prevent these high dBZ values from being converted to rainfall.Short Range Forecast: Mostly dry. Hail is a good reflector of energy and will return very high dBZ values. ![]() These values are estimates of the rainfall per hour, updated each volume scan, with rainfall accumulated over time. Depending on the type of weather occurring and the area of the U.S., forecasters use a set of rainrates which are associated to the dBZ values. The higher the dBZ, the stronger the rainrate. ![]() Typically, light rain is occurring when the dBZ value reaches 20. The scale of dBZ values is also related to the intensity of rainfall. The value of the dBZ depends upon the mode the radar is in at the time the image was created. Notice the color on each scale remains the same in both operational modes, only the values change. The other scale (near left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in precipitation mode (dBZ values from 5 to 75). One scale (far left) represents dBZ values when the radar is in clear air mode (dBZ values from -28 to +28). Each reflectivity image you see includes one of two color scales. The dBZ values increase as the strength of the signal returned to the radar increases. So, a more convenient number for calculations and comparison, a decibel (or logarithmic) scale (dBZ), is used. Reflectivity (designated by the letter Z) covers a wide range of signals (from very weak to very strong). "Reflectivity" is the amount of transmitted power returned to the radar receiver. The colors are the different echo intensities (reflectivity) measured in dBZ (decibels of Z) during each elevation scan. ![]()
