We present expressions for the resonant magnetic x-ray scattering from rough surfaces; using our formulas we analyze the structural and magnetic roughnesses, as well as the correlation between them. We demonstrate that the leading contribution to the difference in the diffuse scattering between left- and right-circularly polarized light for a rough surface with in-plane magnetization vanishes unless the structural and magnetic roughnesses are correlated. The effects of magnetic domain structure and magnetic dead layers on the surface scattering are also discussed.
