##### Abstract

We study the $J$-flow on Kähler surfaces when the Kähler class lies on the boundary of the open cone for which global smooth convergence holds and satisfies a nonnegativity condition. We obtain a ${C}^{0}$ estimate and show that the $J$-flow converges smoothly to a singular Kähler metric away from a finite number of curves of negative self-intersection on the surface. We discuss an application to the Mabuchi energy functional on Kähler surfaces with ample canonical bundle.
