I guess it really depends on what you're going to target. I don't know where you are fishing, off of what coast, so I don't know how to give you specific advise.
I know off the coast of NC, big striped bass hold just past the breakers, large bull drum hold in the surf of both carolinas and down the eastern seaboard. Whiting, sharks, pompano, etc.... Do you have an idea of what you're going to target?
I'd say a good outfit would be a 10' spinning rod and a matched spinning reel. For the rod, the Penn power stick surf rods have been getting good reviews. Bass Pro has them for about 65 bucks. For the spinning reel, i'd go with a Penn Sargus or Fin Nor offshore series. They are all metal and bullet proof. I personnally use those two reels with high test braid for all my big fish apps.
Terminal tackle will depend on your target species. You'll need to clarify.
