The easiest way is probably going to be to export an ASCII file of the static pressure.

File->Export, change file type to ASCII, choose the surface you want the pressure on, and then select static pressure under functions to write. Make sure "Node" is selected under location so that it interpolates the data right to the surface, otherwise it gives the coordinates and pressure at the cell center.

If you're interested in the data on different surfaces, then you might want to write different files for each surface. I don't think there's a way to export a surface label along with the data (I could be wrong on the surface label though... I only had to do this once, and I had to go back to Fluent to remember how I did it).

Hope this helps, and good luck, Jason
