A wake test instrumentation and more particularly, systems and methods for determining wake velocities and directions are provided. The wake test instrument includes a linkage system mounted to a base and a pole pivotally mounted to the linkage system and which comprises a hydrofoil system. The wake test instrument further includes a hydrofoil system mounted to the pole. The wake test instrument further includes a water flow meter mounted to the pole which is structured to measure wake parameters.
