Wave generator

A wave generator for generating waves on the surface of a body of water when supported on an environmental object proximate the body of water, the wave generator comprising:

• a chassis including an environmental support configured to engage the environmental object and secure the wave generator stably thereto;
• a rocker arm including a proximal end and a distal end, and a post pivotally supporting the rocker arm above the chassis such that the distal end of the rocker arm extends laterally beyond the chassis;
• an oscillating device supported by the chassis and coupled to the rocker arm between the proximal end of the rocker arm and the post;
• an agitator depending from the rocker arm between the post and the distal end of the rocker arm, the agitator configured to present a contact surface for generating a wave responsive to the agitator being projected into the surface of the body of water;
• and
• a flexible cover covering the chassis and the oscillating device, wherein the flexible cover visually simulates a marine animal, the flexible cover including a body appendage of the marine animal, and wherein the rocker arm is contained within the body appendage.
