Not that it was a very scientific test, but using a Boga Grip I found that most reels we use in the surf aren't capable of creating more then 10lbs of drag (without palming the spool)
Most don't even get near 10lbs. Casting reels excluded.
And you'd be surprised how hard you have to pull to create 10lbs of drag if the reel you're testing is mounted on a rod with the line run thru the guides while you're pulling on it.
For surf fishing though I just go by feel.
