The wave capillary flow of the surface of an inviscid capillary jet, initiated by a single
$\delta$-perturbation of its surface, is studied. It is shown that the wave pattern has a complex structure.
The perturbation generates both fast traveling damped waves and a structure of nonpropagating
exponentially growing waves. The structure of self-similar traveling waves is investigated.
It is shown that there are three independent families of such self-similar solutions. The characteristics
of the structure of nonpropagating exponentially growing waves are calculated. The
characteristic time of formation of such a structure is determined.
