About Silver Sands
Silver Sands is a sheltered Connecticut break that relies heavily on swell size and direction to come alive. When enough energy sneaks in, the sandbars can shape up into fun, rolling waves best suited for longboards or mid-lengths. It’s rarely powerful, but on clean days it offers mellow, approachable surf in an otherwise limited regional setup.

Friday morning is your best bet with 2ft waves and light winds pushing offshore by afternoon, though honestly even that's pretty small and glassy. If you can't wait, Wednesday evening when the wind dies down to nearly nothing could be solid for such a mellow lineup.
