Shadows are longer when the Sun is low in the sky, and are longest at sunrise and sunset. The shortest shadows are seen at "Local Apparent Noon", when the Sun is high in the sky.
Over the course of a year, noontime shadows are longest on the winter solstice and shortest on the summer solstice. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is on December 21; the summer solstice is on June 21. Switch these dates for the southern hemisphere, and these dates may vary a day either way depending on the cycle of leap years.

Why do shadows get smaller and bigger?
The size of a shadow has everything to do with placement of the light source, the object, and the background on which the shadow is cast. In general, if the light source is close to the object and the background is further away then the shadow is larger than the object. The opposite is true if the light source is further away. Another part of the equation has to do with angles. This is what we commonly observe happining to shadows at different times of the day; long shadows in the morning and evening and smaller shadows around the middle of the day.
