Without surface tension, the exact dynamic boundary condition for an inviscid interface is equality of pressure, , at . The Unsteady Bernoulli equation in each irrotational fluid is
Choose the potential gauge so that , its unperturbed value. Expanding the kinetic term as and evaluating gravity at the displaced interface gives
to first order. Equality of these pressures gives
