St. Augustine's beaches are a surf playground—3 Day Surf Rental at Surf Station on Anastasia Island gives you a hands-on way to test boards and chase conditions along Florida’s oldest city. Located at 1020 Anastasia Blvd. in St. Augustine, Florida, this rental puts you steps from sand breaks that work for beginners and experienced riders alike.
Pick a hot shortboard to charge steeper faces or a forgiving soft top for long, easy paddles to the lineup. Surf Station’s fleet covers foam, epoxy, and traditional fiberglass shapes so you can sample different designs across three days without lugging gear through airports. The rental rate of $60 for three days is straightforward: keep it light, surf more, and swap styles between morning glass-offs and afternoon breeze-driven swell.
The stretch around Anastasia Island features low-angled sandy bottom breaks, occasional rips, and long rights on swell days—perfect for practicing pop-ups and linking turns. You’ll see coquina shells underfoot, scrubby dune grasses along the access paths, and the frequent presence of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins offshore. Tide and wind matter here: early morning low tides reveal cleaner walls, while onshore afternoons can turn waves mushy; local surf shops and beach cameras help you time sessions.
Rentals are simple: pick up at the Surf Station shop (meeting point: 1020 Anastasia Blvd.), bring a sun shirt, and head out. The three-day window encourages exploration—try different launch points from the main beach access to quieter stretches near the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Anastasia State Park. If you’re new to surfing, consider scheduling a lesson through a local instructor before renting faster boards; the rental itself does not include instruction.
Why book this in St. Augustine? Beyond reliable Atlantic swell, the area blends historic streets and coastal access: after a dawn session, you can stroll the Old City’s cobblestones and refuel with local seafood. Surf Station’s easy location and flexible gear mix make it a standout option for travelers who want high-quality boards without baggage hassles.
Practical notes: bring a leash sized for the board, reef-safe sunscreen, and a basic repair kit for dings. Respect sea turtle nesting areas—lights out on the beach at night—and pack out trash. Three days of local waves, a well-chosen board, and a short walk from historic St. Augustine equals an efficient, rewarding surf trip. Book online or call ahead to confirm board inventory and reserve popular models during weekend or holiday periods. Soft tops are ideal for families and beginners, while intermediate surfers will appreciate epoxy or shortboard options for punchy days. Store staff at Surf Station can recommend wax, fins, and local launch points based on current conditions. Staying flexible with session times maximizes quality waves over a three-day stretch.
