The present work studies the interaction of a wave field with a current by experimental means, analysing how the wave spectra change due to the effect of current. Wave systems with several peak periods and significant wave height, were subjected to currents of different speeds, both in the same direction and opposing the wave propagation. The theoretical models of transformed spectra were compared with the experimental data and reasonable comparisons were obtained.
