This paper deals with irrotational flows and particle paths beneath symmetric periodic traveling surface waves in regions close to the equator. The governing equations are reformulated via a conformal hodograph mapping and the velocity field beneath a surface wave, which provides the basis for the qualitative description of particle trajectories, is studied.
