Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Hallandale Beach, FL

SHORT TERM
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 138 AM EST Tue Jan 20 2026

A rather broad mid level longwave trough encompasses a good portion of the eastern half of the country today and this trough will generally remain in place through the middle of the week. At the surface, a strong and expansive area of high pressure will continue to slide eastward towards the Mid-Atlantic States as well as the Southeast today. This area of high pressure will gradually shift off into the western Atlantic heading into Wednesday. At the same time, a lingering frontal boundary will remain parked over the Bahamas and this boundary extends southwestward into the Carribean Sea.
As the area of high pressure to the north shifts offshore, the lingering frontal boundary will slowly start to lift back northward towards the Florida Keys on Wednesday.

With strong high pressure to the north combined with the lingering frontal boundary to the southeast today, this will keep the pressure gradient tight across the region and it will allow for windy conditions to develop throughout the day. As high pressure continues to shift further eastward today, this will allow the winds to veer as well and become northeasterly as the day progresses. Winds gust of 20 to 25 mph will be common across a good portion of the area, and there remains the potential for wind gusts up to around 30 mph along the immediate east coast this afternoon. While breezy conditions will persist into Wednesday, these winds will gradually be diminishing as the afternoon progresses with the strong high to the north shifting further offshore.

While many areas will remain dry across the region today, as the lingering frontal boundary start to shift closer to the region on Wednesday and the winds veer and become more east northeasterly, gradual lower level moisture advection will start to take place.
This will allow isolated to scattered showers to return to the forecast mainly over the Atlantic waters as well as the east coast metro areas on Wednesday afternoon. Most of the shower development will remain rather low topped and fast moving along the breeze, however, a brief heavy downpour cannot be ruled out with the stronger showers. High temperatures today and Wednesday will be on a moderating trend as winds veer during this time frame. While high temperatures will rise into the lower to mid 70s across most areas today, mid to upper 70s will be common across South Florida on Wednesday.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 138 AM EST Tue Jan 20 2026

Heading into the second half of the week, broad mid level troughing remains parked over the region while mid level ridging remains centered well off to the south over the Carribean Sea. At the surface, the latest global and ensemble guidance has come into better agreement with keeping a weak frontal boundary parked over the region or just nearby to the south during this time frame.
Weak high pressure will remain just off to the northeast over the Atlantic. The combination and location of these two features will help to keep east northeasterly wind flow in place during this time frame allowing for plenty of lower level moisture advection to take place as well. While the frontal boundary will be in a very weak state, it will provide just enough lift and instability across the region to increase the chances of showers during this time frame. While shower activity will remain scattered in nature, there may be just enough instability in place to support an isolated thunderstorm or two on Thursday and Friday. The highest chances of thunderstorm development will remain along the east coast as well as the Atlantic waters where instability will be maximized. High temperatures will continue to moderate as they will rise into the upper 70s and lower 80s across most areas on Thursday. Heading into Friday, high temperatures will hover around 80 across the east coast metro areas, while lower to mid 80s will remain possible across the interior sections of Southwest Florida.

Looking ahead towards the upcoming weekend, the mid level ridge over the Carribean Sea will build northward over the region on Saturday before gradually shifting into the western Atlantic on Sunday. This is in response to an amplifying mid level trough well off to the northwest slowly digging southeastward. At the surface, the remnants of that very weak frontal boundary will gradually start to lift to the north and eventually wash out. However, there will be enough moisture in place to support a slight chance of showers over the east coast on Saturday. The next frontal boundary could move into Northern and Central Florida during the second half of the weekend and into early next week, however, plenty of uncertainty remains in place due to this being towards the end of the forecast period along with plenty of model disagreement in regards to timing of the front. With the front remaining well to the north through Sunday, many areas will remain dry during this time frame. High temperature over the upcoming weekend still look to be above climatological normals.

MARINE
Issued at 138 AM EST Tue Jan 20 2026

Hazardous marine conditions will continue across the Atlantic and Gulf waters today and tonight as fresh to strong northerly winds shift and become northeasterly throughout the day. While winds will slowly diminish across the Gulf waters on Wednesday, fresh to strong northeasterly winds will continue across the Atlantic waters. Seas across the Gulf waters will generally range from 4 to 6 feet through tonight before gradually subsiding on Wednesday. Seas across the Atlantic waters will continue to build and range from 8 to 11 feet today through Wednesday.

BEACHES
Issued at 138 AM EST Tue Jan 20 2026

Due to developing strong onshore wind flow combined with an increasing northeasterly swell, a high risk of rip currents will develop across the Atlantic Coast beaches today. The high risk of rip currents will likely remain in place across the Atlantic Coast beaches through the rest of the week.
