Which Beaufort force is described as 'Calm, sea like mirror'?
Correct Answer:
Beaufort force 0
Explanation:
Matching wind and sea conditions to the Beaufort scale helps you quickly judge paddling safety and comfort. “Calm, sea like a mirror” describes a surface with essentially no wind, so the water is glassy and smooth—often with smoke rising straight up and no waves forming. That is the calmest state on the Beaufort scale, the zero end. In practice, this means very gentle, windless conditions where paddling is easy and there’s no spray or breaking waves. The other descriptions would involve progressively more wind and rougher water—ripples or small waves, larger waves and spray—so they wouldn’t match a mirror-like surface.
