We derive quantitative predictions for velocity correlations in weakly
turbulent surface waves. For capillary surface waves, our theoretical
results are shown to be in extremely good agreement with experiment.
This provides the strongest evidence so far for the applicability of w
eak-turbulence theory to capillary waves. For gravity waves the predic
ted-velocity correlations remain to be tested experimentally.
