Computation of wave kinematics at or near offshore structures is a vitally important consideration in the design of offshore structures. Design waves often include breaking and nearbreaking storm waves in the presence of currents. It is important to predict the kinematics of these steep waves. Experiments were carried out in a wave tank with simulated steep waves with and without in-line current in which the wave profiles and the corresponding kinematics were simultaneously measured. The simulated waves represent shallow-water Gulf of Mexico storm waves. Many of these waves broke at or near the measuring instruments. Irregular stream-function theory was used to compute the wave kinematics and was found to generally predict the measured wave-current kinematics well. The differences found between the two are noted. Some of the noteworthy features of the breaking waves are also discussed.
