An unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is an unmanned vehicle that is operated on the surface of the water for certain purposes, for example, bathymetry measurement, underwater imaging, etc. These unmanned surface vehicles can be used in impassable waters for crewed vessels in dangerous waters. This research measures the movement of the vehicle acceleration and then calculates it as the USV roll and pitch values. The direction of movement and wind speed and the height of the water surface at low tide are also aspects measured in this research. An accelerometer is a sensor that can measure the acceleration of an object, both dynamic and static. Based on the observations, the highest roll value is 6.0° deep while the highest pitch value is 6.5°. The standard deviation value at roll conditions of 2.92 and the standard deviation value at pitch conditions of 1.25. The average frequency of roll conditions is 2.18 and pitch conditions of 1.13. The dominant wind moves from the south to the southwest with a dominant speed ranging from 3.0 to 4.0 m/s. The results of this research indicate that the USV has a good performance so that it is possible to collect data in the water.
