We consider an isotropic compressible non-dissipative fluid with broken parity subject to free surface boundary conditions in two spatial dimensions. The hydrodynamic equations describing the bulk dynamics of the fluid as well as the free surface boundary conditions depend explicitly on the parity breaking non-dissipative odd viscosity term. We construct a variational principle in the form of an effective action which gives both bulk hydrodynamic equations and free surface boundary conditions. The free surface boundary conditions require an additional boundary term in the action which resembles a $1+1D$ chiral boson field coupled to the background geometry. We solve the linearized hydrodynamic equations for the deep water case and derive the dispersion of chiral surface waves. We show that in the long wavelength limit the flow profile exhibits an oscillating vortical boundary layer near the free surface. The thickness of the layer is controlled by the length scale given by the ratio of odd viscosity to the sound velocity $\delta \sim \nu_o/c_s$. In the incompressible limit, $c_s\to \infty$ the vortical boundary layer becomes singular with the vorticity within the layer diverging as $\omega \sim c_s$. The boundary layer is formed by odd viscosity coupling the divergence of velocity $\boldsymbol\nabla \cdot \boldsymbol{v}$ to vorticity $\boldsymbol\nabla \times \boldsymbol{v}$. It results in non-trivial chiral free surface dynamics even in the absence of external forces. The structure of the odd viscosity induced boundary layer is very different from the conventional free surface boundary layer associated with dissipative shear viscosity.
