In this paper, we continue the study local minimizers of a degenerate versionof the Alt-Caffarelli functional. Specifically, we consider local minimizers ofthe functional $J_{Q}(u, \Omega):= \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^2 +Q(x)^2\chi_{\{u>0\}}dx$ where $Q(x) = dist(x, \Gamma)^{\gamma}$ for $\gamma>0$and $\Gamma$ a submanifold of dimension $0 \le k \le n-1$. Previously, it wasshown that on $\Gamma$, the free boundary $\partial \{u>0\}$ may be decomposedinto a rectifiable set $\mathcal{S}$, which satisfies effective estimates, anda cusp set $\Sigma$. In this note, we prove that under mild assumptions, in thecase $n = 2$ and $\Gamma$ a line, the cusp set $\Sigma$ does not exist.Building upon the work of Arama and Leoni \cite{AramaLeoni12}, our resultsapply to the physical case of a variational formulation of the Stokes' wave andprovide a complete characterization of the singular portion of the freeboundary in complete generality in this context.
