This report presents ways in which a horizontal current influences surface gravity waves and their measurement. Relatively simple hand-calculation methods are described which provide a means to estimate (a) the wavelength modification due to a current, ( b) whether a current can prevent waves from reaching a particular location, (c) the correction needed to compensate for a current when observed bottom pressure fluctuations are used to estimate wave heights, and (d) the range of periods (if any) where the effects of currents can be neglected when wave heights are estimated from bottom pressure fluctuations.
