We introduce diffraction-free plasmonic waves in metal-dielectric surfaces which are the analogue to nondiffracting Bessel beams in free space. By interfering multiple converging plane waves with controlled phase matching, we generate a subwavelength transverse spot located at the boundaries of a 1D plasmonic lattice. The diffraction-free beam is resonantly transmitted through the stratiform medium leading not only to light confinement but also to wave enhancement assisted by surface plasmons polaritons. To conclude, we briefly analyze other types of localized surface modes which were proposed recently.
