Dispersion characteristics of surface waves in a semibounded plasma flow with relativistic velocity u(0) parallel to the plasma-vacuum interface are presented. The plasma is considered to be cold and collisionless, which allows us to take into account only the electron motion. It is shown that - in contrast to the bulk waves, which are invariant with respect to Lorentz transformations and whose spectrum is independent of the flow velocity - the surface waves are not invariant, which leads to a dependence of their spectrum on the flow velocity and, correspondingly, to non-reciprocity. The latter peculiarity is due to the fact that the boundary conditions are not invariant.
