Hi mate,
I just went to surf shop near the coast and hired a board to see if I enjoyed it before buying!

I loved it and bought a second hand starter board.

Give it a try.

Have a couple of sessions with an instructor to get the basics and the rest is practice!. - I recommend TK SurfSchool - http://www.tksurfschool.com

Not that we've had much swell so far this year !!

Maybe you can go there every weekends or even when you have time. You will enjoy it for sure.
