5 Day Surf Rental

Stay five days and surf on your schedule. Rent a soft top or performance shortboard from the meeting point at 1020 Anastasia Blvd. for easy access to St. Augustine’s Atlantic breaks. Flexible rental windows let you chase swell and learn the local lineup without buying gear.

On the Atlantic shore of St. Augustine, Florida, the 5 Day Surf Rental from Surf Station hands you a five-day invitation to the ocean. Based at 1020 Anastasia Blvd., this flexible surfboard rental lets visitors—beginners testing soft tops or experienced riders chasing shortboard models—keep a board close at hand across sunrise sessions and evening swells.

The coastline here is defined by wide sandy beaches, shifting sandbars, and warm Atlantic swells that produce forgiving, rideable waves for much of the year. Pick a board that suits your plan: a buoyant foam top for easy paddling and pop-ups, or a performance shortboard to sharpen turns when the swell lines up. Over five days you can read the water and time your sessions around tides and wind rather than racing a clock.

The rental rate is straightforward—$95 for five days—so you can sample multiple conditions without buying gear or hassling with airline surf fees. What makes this rental notable is its location. From the meeting point on Anastasia Boulevard you’re a short walk to open beach breaks where long, mellow rides form on lower tides and steeper peaks appear when an offshore pulse arrives.

Look for longshore currents that reshape sandbars daily and for the occasional break near rocky outcrops that kicks up playful, punchy waves. Marine life is a regular companion: pods of dolphins patrol the outside lines, and during nesting season you may spot tracks from sea turtles crossing the sand at dusk. This is a rental built for self-guided exploration.

There are no guided lessons included, so beginners should pair the rental with a lesson from a local surf school before heading out alone. Bring basic surf safety knowledge—how to read sets, respect for right-of-way, and a leash that keeps your board close. Durability matters; choose materials suited to salt and sand.

Five days gives you time to chase conditions, time sessions around sunrise glass-offs, and time to learn how local winds and tides shape the breaks. It also makes for a relaxed beach itinerary: surf in the morning, explore St. Augustine’s historic downtown in the afternoon, return for another session at golden hour.

The combination of an affordable five-day rental, a well-situated meeting point at 1020 Anastasia Blvd., and consistent Atlantic swell make this offering an excellent option for visitors who want freedom on the water without the long-term commitment of buying a board. Pick-up and drop-off are convenient for travelers staying in town; allow extra time to rinse salt off the board and reattach wax if needed. Local rental staff can recommend which board shape fits the day's wind and swell patterns.

A five-day rental is handy for families who want schedule flexibility. Book early for holiday weekends.
