We provide a new simple proof of local-in-time existence of regular solutions to the Euler equation on a domain with a free moving boundary and without surface tension in 2 space dimensions. We prove the existence under the condition that the initial velocity belongs to the Sobolev space $H^{2.5+δ}$ where $\delta>0$ is arbitrary.
Keywords: surface water waves, shallow water, Free moving boundary problem, free boundary euler equations with no surface tension., incompressible inviscid flow.
