In June 2024, we completed a measuring tower at the depth of about 5 m, some 250 m from the shoreline. The tower is energetically autonomous. The measured data are transmitted by radio and the devices are controlled by radio as well. There is a meteorological station and a camera installed on the tower. Soon, we will equip the tower with a water level and wave sensor. The camera view and results of the measurements will be available on the CRS Lubiatowo web page.



In November 2022, measurements of waves and currents near Lubiatowo were commenced by use of a new wave-current DWR4 buoy, moored about 2.7 km offshore, at the depth of about 18 m. Results of the measurements, including the sea surface temperature, are available on the CRS Lubiatowo web page: http://www.ibwpan.gda.pl/en/mlb/camera


We have received questions on the change of the camera location and the view. After the shore erosion caused by the extreme storm of December 6th 2013 the camera mast was about 1.5 m from the dune crest. We had to move it to the safer position from which the alongshore view was limited. Therefore, the camera looks in the cross-shore direction now.


On 19 February, the wave buoy was withdrawn from the sea for replacement of batteries and conservation. Until next deployment, the parameters measured by the buoy, namely the water temperature, wave height, period and direction, will be unavailable on the website.

As soon as the conservation works are finished and the weather is convenient, the buoy will be deployed again and the data will appear on the website.


After a short technical break, wave measurements near Lubiatowo are continued. Like before, they are carried out by use of the Directional Waverider DWR-7 Mk. III buoy, this time moored about 2.5 km offshore, at the depth of 18 m.

Results of the measurements, including the sea surface temperature, are available on the CRS Lubiatowo web page

It is intended to accomplish the survey not sooner than in spring 2015.

In June 2011, wave measurements nearby Lubiatowo were commenced by use of the Directional Waverider Mk. III buoy, moored about 2 km offshore, at the depth of 16 m. Results of the measurements, including the sea surface temperature, are available on the CRS Lubiatowo web page

http://www.ibwpan.gda.pl/en/mlb/camera

The survey will be completed in May 2012.

During field surveys planned in 2011, parameters of waves and currents, as well as changes of shoreline position, will be measured. The key part of the measurements will commence in September 2011.

Already in May, however, the buoy recording wave motion will be anchored at the depth of about 15 m, at a distance of ca. 1 NM from the shoreline


Two measuring towers collapsed into the water during the recent storm (end of December 2010). Remnants of the second tower are still visible in the sea, while the first one disappeared almost totally. The detailed inspection and protection of the infrastructure is planned in the spring 2011.

Further investigations will be carried out by use of autonomous measuring devices.
