Example systems and methods are provided herein for controlling a wake behind a watercraft. Such systems include a ballast system, an actuator, and a sensor for determining a pitch, roll, and/or yaw of the watercraft. A processor is configured to determine or receive a desired orientation of the watercraft based on producing a desired wake behind the watercraft, determine a current orientation of the watercraft relative to a water level of the body of water based on sensor data received from the sensor, determine instructions to send to at least one of the ballast system or the actuator based on the current orientation of the watercraft and the desired orientation of the watercraft, and cause adjustment of the ballast system or the actuator according to the instructions such that the watercraft achieves the desired orientation so that the desired wake is produced by the watercraft.
