The paper presents the results of integrated monitoring of water dynamics in the coastal zone off the Southern coast of the Crimea for 2008-2016. The regime and features of circulation of coastal waters were determined. An intensive contribution of low-frequency oscillations of coastal currents at the seasonal and synoptic scales was identified based on the results of spectral analysis of a nine-year set of vector dynamics series. For water fluctuations in the coastal zone, the alongshore structure of reciprocating jet streams caused by water dynamics at the shelf and continental slope dominates.
