Abstract A study is made of the asymptotic behavior of the Green's function of the Cauchy—Poisson problem in the far zone near the wave front, i.e., for r ≈ c0t, where $$c_0 = \sqrt {gH} $$ is the maximal group velocity of a surface wave. It is shown that the solution to this problem given in the book by LeBlond and Mysak [1] is incorrect, and the correct asymptotic behavior, expressed in terms of the square of an Airy function, is given.
