It does not happen often but the forecast is wrong today Wednesday 18th July for both the swell direction and the period.
See Manly HL waverider buoy for the correct readings. almost 180 degrees (South) and period 10-16 secs.

I checked myself by surfing a spot that faces south. Nice little waves..

Yes, the Newcastle forecast is what I had in Sydney. Maybe the forecast was out by 100 miles..

We can't expect it to be perfect. It is after all a forecast, ie prediction.
