Abstract: A wave generation assembly includes a drive system and a wave generator. The wave generator is coupled to the drive system. The wave generator includes a generator head and a chamber. The generator head is movably positioned within the chamber by the drive system between a first position and a second position. The chamber is positioned below the water surface. The chamber includes a first end positioned near the water surface, and an opposed second end that is below the water surface. When in the first position, the generator head is positioned near the second end of the chamber, and when in the second position, the generator head is positioned near the first end of the chamber. Movement of the generator head from the first position to the second position drives water out of the first end of the chamber to generate the wave along the water surface of the body of water.
