A wave pool having water and a bottom, said wave pool comprising a wave making apparatus, wherein the water creates a water surface in the pool, the wave making apparatus comprising: a wave making chamber having an interior and a plurality of chamber walls (15A, 15B), wherein said wave making chamber is designed to receive and release water from the pool through a passageway, lifting and lowering the water level in the wave making chamber, and thereby create a wave within the pool; said passageway connecting the interior to the wave pool and constructed to allow water to flow between the interior and the wave pool, wherein the passageway is submerged within the pool water and connected to the wave pool in such a fashion that it releases water from the wave making chamber the wave pool; a water vane (20, 20A) disposed of in or adjacent to the passageway, the water vane (20, 20A) comprising: at least one smooth and curved water vane wall (25, 61A, 61B, 61C, 61D); wherein the water vane (20, 20A) and the plurality of chamber walls (15A, 15B) create at least two conduit paths (30, 35, 40, 45) for the water flowing between the interior and the wave pool; and wherein the conduit paths (30, 35, 40, 45) have two ends, and the water enters one end in a first direction and exits the second end in a second direction; wherein the water vane defines a smoother path for the water that is released from the wave making chamber, characterized in that the passageway releases water from the wave making chamber into the bottom of the wave pool, and said water vane thereby mitigates eddies currents that erode the formation of the rideable waves and also mitigates the turbulence at the surface of the wave pool, such that waves can be generated more rapidly without having to wait for the wave pool to become placid between waves. a wave making chamber having an interior and a plurality of chamber walls (15A, 15B), wherein said wave making chamber is designed to receive and release water from the pool through a passageway, lifting and lowering the water level in the wave making chamber, and thereby create a wave within the pool; said passageway connecting the interior to the wave pool and constructed to allow water to flow between the interior and the wave pool, wherein the passageway is submerged within the pool water and connected to the wave pool in such a fashion that it releases water from the wave making chamber the wave pool; a water vane (20, 20A) disposed of in or adjacent to the passageway, the water vane (20, 20A) comprising: at least one smooth and curved water vane wall (25, 61A, 61B, 61C, 61D); wherein the water vane (20, 20A) and the plurality of chamber walls (15A, 15B) create at least two conduit paths (30, 35, 40, 45) for the water flowing between the interior and the wave pool; and wherein the conduit paths (30, 35, 40, 45) have two ends, and the water enters one end in a first direction and exits the second end in a second direction; at least one smooth and curved water vane wall (25, 61A, 61B, 61C, 61D); wherein the water vane (20, 20A) and the plurality of chamber walls (15A, 15B) create at least two conduit paths (30, 35, 40, 45) for the water flowing between the interior and the wave pool; and wherein the conduit paths (30, 35, 40, 45) have two ends, and the water enters one end in a first direction and exits the second end in a second direction; wherein the water vane defines a smoother path for the water that is released from the wave making chamber, characterized in that the passageway releases water from the wave making chamber into the bottom of the wave pool, and said water vane thereby mitigates eddies currents that erode the formation of the rideable waves and also mitigates the turbulence at the surface of the wave pool, such that waves can be generated more rapidly without having to wait for the wave pool to become placid between waves.
