A method is presented to obtain a straight free boundary plasma equilibrium of helical symmetry. The exterior vacuum magnetic field around a prescribed plasma equilibrium with a long wavelength is determined using complex functions. The m-fold (m≥2) helical equilibrium slightly distorted from a circular cylinder is obtained together with the m=1 equilibrium of finite amplitude.
