Abstract :
A capacitive wavestaff with nominally linear amplitude response and flat frequency response from 0.02 to 1.5 Hz is described. The wavestaff uses standard low power circuits, is small ( 
cm plus probe wire), and is light weight (0.34 kg plus mounting hardware and cables). System electronics, calibration and field use are discussed. Representative wave data for Lake Travis, Texas are given.
