Finite amplitude capillary‐gravity waves of permanent form on deep water are studied numerically. Bifurcation and limit lines are calculated. Pure and combination waves are continued to maximum amplitude. It is found that the height is limited in all cases by the surface enclosing one or more bubbles.
