The steady-state solution of the non-linear equation \[ h_t + hh_x + hₓₓₓ = δ hₓₓ \] with both damping and dispersion is examined in the phase plane. For small damping an averaging technique is used to obtain an oscillatory asymptotic solution. This solution becomes invalid as the period of the oscillation approaches infinity, and is matched to a straightforward expansion solution. The results obtained are compared with a numerical integration of the equation.
