Why has your graph for Sydney been showing 1M when the SMH (from BOM) map has been showing 3M (there looks like 2M at the beach)?
The direction E looks unusual but right.
Can you check your sources?
I'm not in Sydney but form all other reports it looks about right. The first one says there is a NE swell about 2m with some pretty high seas as well so maybe thats what you're seeing?
