The nonlinear properties of long-wavelength ion acoustic surface modes in a semi-infinite plasma are studied. It is shown that finite-amplitude surface-charge layers can propagate along the plasma boundary with a velocity that exceeds the ion sound speed by a small term which is proportional to the squared inverse width of the solitary layer.
