You can do a squid surge by swimming up walls and holding the B button then releasing it when you see a brief spark on your character.
Doing a squid surge will help you scale walls faster. This is especially helpful if you're using a ranged weapon because it gives you a better vantage point. Having the higher ground lets you ink areas easily and conveniently take down enemies by surprise.
Enemies can spot you rather easily though when you have the higher ground so be wary!
Presumably, your character will slightly repel ink from opponents when you glow briefly from doing a Squid Surge. The Splatoon 3 Nintendo Direct confirmed that Inklings and Octolings do the same while doing a Squid Roll so we can assume that it's the same for the Squid Surge.
