  Wilson loops which are small deviations from straight, infinite lines, called
wavy lines, are considered in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. A
single wavy line and the connected correlation function of a straight and wavy
line are considered. It is argued that, to leading order in ``waviness'', the
functional form of the loop is universal and the coefficient, which is a
function of the 't Hooft coupling, is found in weak coupling perturbation
theory and the strong coupling limit using the AdS/CFT correspondence.
Supersymmetric arguments are used to simplify the computation and to show that
the straight line obeys the Migdal-Makeenko loop equation.
