More about Childers Cove
Childers Cove is a consistent reef break near Warrnambool that works across all tidal stages, performing best with offshore northeast winds and southwest groundswell. Summer typically sees flat conditions, with the most rideable windows occurring during autumn, particularly June. The break sits as an exposed reef in a bay framed by limestone cliffs, holding together through distant Southern Ocean groundswells arriving from the southwest.
The spot has been surfed by intrepid locals over decades as part of the Far West Victoria lineup, though detailed records of formal competitions or named surfers are scarce in available sources.
Access to the break is complicated by unstable cliffs flanking the cove, with official walkway access having been closed due to geotechnical concerns related to erosion and shifting sands.
