Several recent results on the regularity of streamlines beneath a rotational travelling wave, along with the wave profile itself, will be discussed.

The talk includes the classical water wave problem in both finite and infinite depth, capillary waves, and solitary waves as well. A common assumption in all models to be discussed is the absence of stagnation points.
