2 Day Surf Rental

Grab a surfboard for the weekend and make the most of Anastasia Island's manageable beach breaks. Two-day rentals at Surf Station (meeting at 1020 Anastasia Blvd.) are an affordable, low-hassle way to log waves in historic St. Augustine.

Where Atlantic swell meets Spanish colonial streets, St. Augustine's east-facing beaches offer a clear, user-friendly surf playground. The 2 Day Surf Rental from Surf Station—meeting at 1020 Anastasia Blvd.—puts a quality shortboard or forgiving soft-top under your feet for a full weekend of waves.

It’s a simple business model: $50 for two days, a straightforward way to test boards or squeeze in extra sessions without airline baggage hassles. Anastasia Island's beaches serve a range of conditions: small, playful beach breaks for learners, steeper peelers on bigger days, and long, mellow rides when sandbars set up. Natural features include broad sandy shorelines, intermittent coquina outcrops, and grassy dunes with sea oats that mark the high tide line.

Depending on swell and wind, you’ll find rights and lefts that reward timing more than brute power, making this a forgiving spot for intermediate surfers and a confidence-builder for first-timers. Renting here is practical. Pull up to the meeting point at 1020 Anastasia Blvd., swap ID for a board, and you’re minutes from foam to surf.

The rental lets you experiment with shapes—try an egg or fish if you want easy paddling, or a responsive shortboard if you’re chasing steeper faces. Two days gives you both morning glass-off sessions and afternoon windswell runs, improving your feel for local currents and tides. This rental service is a local cog in St.

Augustine's outdoor scene: operators keep gear rotating so visitors try current board models without the investment. That accessibility matters in a coastal town known as the nation’s oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement; after a surf session, the city's cobbled streets and colonial ramparts are a short drive away, letting you pair activity with exploration. Practical notes: watch for changing tides and occasional rip currents off the island.

Parking near the meeting point is limited on summer weekends—plan to arrive early. Bring sunscreen, a flexible leash, and consider a wetsuit in cooler months; water temperatures vary from mild to brisk through the year. For photographers and active travelers this is a low-friction option: quick check-in, reliable gear, and the chance to tune your board quiver to Florida’s summer peaks and shoulder-season swell.

Whether you’re a visitor fitting surf into a coastal road trip or a local trying a new stick, a two-day rental here is a tidy, affordable way to put more waves on your logbook without the baggage claim. Local instructors and shop staff share surf reports and subtle etiquette—preferred peak priorities and when to yield on inside waves—so listen and learn. Rentals are a cost-effective way to test equipment before buying.

Book ahead on busy summer weekends to guarantee a board and maximize time on St. Augustine's Atlantic breaks.
