We consider the exterior problem in the plane for the wave equation with a Neumann boundary condition. We are interested to the asymptotic behavior for large times for the solution, and in particular to the dependence on the norms of the initial data in the estimate for the pointwise decay rate. In the paper we prove such an estimate, by a combination of the estimate of the local energy decay and decay estimates for the free space solution.
