A new type current meter using a pendulum supported in wires was developed in HORS (Hazaki Oceanographical Research Station, a 427-m-long pier in Ibaraki prefecture). One of the characteristics of the current meter was the capability for implementation using the pier. A spherical float was connected to a thin steep pipe and a float was kept about 0.6 m below the sea surface. Moreover, three wires (diameter was 4 mm) were attached to the pipe and tensions of the wires were observed using load cells. The longshore and cross-shore current velocities were estimated analyzing the tension data. The observation was done during 28 days without any data lack. Comparing with the velocity data observed with an electric magnitude current meter, the longshore current velocity was well estimated even in the surf zone. However, the accuracy of the cross-shore velocity was lower than that of the longshore velocity due to wave breaking.
