Pensacola Beach data & methods

Historical hazard context uses NWS Mobile/Pensacola SRFMOB forecasts for the Escambia–Santa Rosa–Okaloosa coastal zone, enriched with Pensacola-specific ERA5 weather, ERA5-Ocean marine data and NOAA Pensacola tide predictions. Official Pensacola Beach surf warning flags remain a separate Escambia County safety signal and are not inferred from NWS rip-current categories.
