We determine the phase diagram of the semi-infinite Ising model in a cubic lattice with a trimodal distribution of random fields on the surface. We use the mean-field renormalization group with the smallest possible clusters to show that a very small dilution of the random field at surface is sufficient to destroy the tricritical behavior.
