Wind and weather at Pensacola
Seven days from the National Weather Service forecast for this stretch of coast. Each row is the range across the whole day, not a reading for one moment.
| Day | Wind | Gusts | Air | Sky | Rain | Waves |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Today | 2–7 kn W | 10 kn | 78–89 °F | Mostly sunny | 25 % | 1 ft 5 s |
| Mon, September 14 | 3–6 kn W | 10 kn | 78–91 °F | Clear | 4 % | 0 ft 7 s |
| Tue, September 15 | 3–10 kn SE | 14 kn | 79–91 °F | Clear | 2 % | 1 ft 8 s |
| Wed, September 16 | 3–16 kn E | 22 kn | 80–89 °F | Clear | 3 % | 2 ft 7 s |
| Thu, September 17 | 6–14 kn ENE | 21 kn | 77–88 °F | Clear | 3 % | 1 ft 4 s |
| Fri, September 18 | 3–11 kn NE | 16 kn | 76–87 °F | Mostly sunny | 18 % | 1 ft 4 s |

Boating, beach and fishing at Pensacola
The same forecast as above, read for three things people do here. Each verdict names what decided it.
| Day | Boating | Beach | Fishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today | Goodwind 7 kn or less | Good89 °F and dry | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Mon, September 14 | Goodwind 6 kn or less | Good91 °F and dry | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Tue, September 15 | Goodwind 10 kn or less | Good91 °F and dry | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Wed, September 16 | Fairgusts to 22 kn | Fairwind to 16 kn | Fairwind to 16 kn |
| Thu, September 17 | Fairgusts to 21 kn | Fairwind to 14 kn | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Fri, September 18 | Goodwind 11 kn or less | Good87 °F and dry | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
| Sat, September 19 | Goodwind 8 kn or less | Fair32% chance of rain | Goodlight wind, major window in daylight |
Boating turns to Poor at the National Weather Service small craft threshold — sustained wind of 22 kn, gusts of 26 kn, or seas of 5 ft — and to Fair at 15 kn or 3 ft. Beach weighs air temperature, chance of rain and wind.Fishing asks whether the day is fishable at all and whether a solunar major window falls in daylight; it is not a prediction of what will bite. None of this replaces the marine forecast before you go out.

Solunar windows for Pensacola
The moon pulls hardest when it is directly overhead or on the far side of the earth — the two major windows of about two hours. The shorter minor windows sit around moonrise and moonset. Anglers use them to pick a time on the water; they are computed from the moon's position, not measured.

Questions about Pensacola tides
Answered from the same NOAA predictions as the table above; the solunar windows come from this page's own moon calculation. Where this page has no basis for an answer, there is no entry.
- What time is high tide in Pensacola today?
- High water at 12:55 am (1.3 ft), local time in Pensacola. Heights are feet above MLLW. Because the tide runs on the moon rather than the clock, each turn falls roughly 50 minutes later tomorrow — the seven-day table above carries the shift.
- What time is low tide in Pensacola today?
- Low water at 10:18 am (0.7 ft), local time in Pensacola. A height below zero is a minus tide: the water falls further than MLLW, the level the heights are counted from.
- How many tides does Pensacola get in a day?
- One high water and one low water on most days here — this stretch runs on a single daily cycle rather than the usual two. Over the seven days on this page that comes to 7 high waters and 7 low waters.
- What is the tidal range at Pensacola?
- About 0.7 ft between today's lowest and highest water. Across the next seven days the water moves between 0.4 and 1.7 ft — a span of about 1.3 ft. The swing here follows the moon's angle to the equator: widest when the moon stands furthest north or south of it, narrowest about a week later as it crosses, and widest again a fortnight on.
- Which tide station do these Pensacola tide times come from?
- NOAA station 8729840 — a reference station, about 4.5 km from the centre of Pensacola. A reference station has its own long-running record, which is the strongest basis NOAA publishes. The predictions here are NOAA's, unchanged.
- What time zone are the Pensacola tide times in?
- Every time on this page is clock time in Pensacola — the America/Chicago zone, daylight saving already applied. Nothing has to be converted, and no time is shown in UTC except the retrieval stamp at the foot of the page.
- When are the solunar windows at Pensacola today?
- The major windows run 1:17 am to 3:17 am and 1:40 pm to 3:40 pm, with shorter minor windows around moonrise and moonset. They are computed from the moon's position over Pensacola, not measured — anglers use them to pick a time on the water. The moon is 8% lit and waxing.
- How far ahead does this Pensacola tide chart go?
- Seven days in the table, and every high and low water for September 2026 and October 2026 in the calendar below it. The page is rebuilt every morning, so the first day is always today.
