We consider the classical water wave problem described by the Euler equations with a free surface under the influence of gravity over a flat bottom. We construct two‐dimensional inviscid periodic traveling waves with vorticity. They are symmetric waves whose profiles are monotone between each crest and trough. We use bifurcation and degree theory to construct a global connected set of such solutions.
