Right now

The most recent data we hold from PEGELONLINE arrived 2 hours ago, and this point is in it.

Nothing else has been detected within 20 km in the last 24 hours.

Reported by PEGELONLINE today.

It is one of only 4 we have recorded within 20 km of this point since 30 April 2026. The last comparable one was on 29 August 2026.

What the source measured

PEGELONLINE reported: High Water: SCHLEIMÜNDE SP on OSTSEE | Current level: 509 cm

The gauge on the OSTSEE read 509 cm, reported by STANDORT LÜBECK.

The gauge stands at kilometre 78.0 of that watercourse.

That figure is a height above the gauge's own zero mark, which sits at -5.00 m on its operator's datum — it is not the depth of the water.

This is the highest water level we have recorded at this point, over 18 readings since 8 September 2026 — the previous range was 497 cm to 509 cm.
