You can try to segment the part with the scissors tool and then use the 'Tools > Fit > Facet' tool. It will fit a 'facet' element to the cloud, from which you can read the surface in its properties.

Oh, a "facet"' is a tesselated polygon that fits the cloud contours (this only works for 2.5D clouds). Then it's equivalent to a mesh, and the surface is simply the sum of the triangles areas.
