About Long Beach CT
Long Beach in Stratford is Connecticut's most consistent surf spot, though "consistent" is relative in Long Island Sound. The beach needs rare southwest wind swells or significant storm energy to produce rideable waves. When conditions align—usually during fall nor'easters—the beach break offers fun, mellow peaks. The local crew is tiny but appreciates every session. For New England surfers, Long Beach CT represents the dedication required to find waves where they barely exist.
