Dear Deliang
The SURFACE program is still included in the current version of the
suite, so you should be able to run it from the command line or from a a
script. However there is no CCP4i interface to SURFACE, so you cannot
run it that way.
There is an interface to the AREAIMOL program which gives options for
calculating solvent accessible surface areas and area differences in a
variety of situations - this can be found in the "Program List" module
as "AreaIMol", or in the "Structure Analysis" module as "Accessible
Surface Areas". There are differences between both the algorithms and
functionalities of SURFACE and AREAIMOL which may or may not be
significant to you; a comparison of the programs can be found here:

Alternatively the CCP4mg molecular graphics program has options for
calculating and visualising accessible surface areas.
I hope that this helps, best wishes
