If there is a component of the electric field along the direction of the surface area, the static charges will move and cause current to flow. However, under static conditions, no surface current can occur. The charges arrange themselves such that there are no electric field components along the surface of the conductor.
Soo, the electric field just outside the conductor is normal to the surface
