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.

This Week's Outlook
Looking pretty flat most of the week, but Sunday morning could actually fire with 3-4ft and clean offshore NW winds - hit it early before the wind backs off. Everything else is ankle biters, maybe Saturday afternoon if you're desperate and don't mind the smaller surf.
