Abstract: A drifting ocean buoy is described which utilizes a drag structure which follows the water mass of the ocean as it flows in the form of the ocean current, and which also has an aerodynamically shaped low wind drag mast to minimize wind induced errors in ocean current drift measurements; the drag structure also being stable and resistant to heaving (pitch and roll) so as to maintain a mast carried antenna above the water even at high sea states.
