Based on other information, the model detail is accurate per the model, while the route planner is not.  Route planner seems to be showing completely different wave directions.

Where have your seen that Route planner is not accurate ?
Your issue about Waves direction is probably due to a wrong reference direction for wind and waves. See More option and set the reference direction (wind barbs) to North up.

On given day/hour, wind wave and swell were collinear
so swell arrow overlaps wave arrow.
Now, at the same location, we have

<p dir="auto">I also cannot find a way to display the wave information on the compare forecast page. Is it possible to do so?</p>
<p dir="auto">If not, are there plans to provide an option to display wave information (and/or select which conditions to display) on the compare forecast page?</p>
<p dir="auto">Love this app! My main use for it is to predict wave/weather conditions in the Gulf of Mexico for recreational fishing in a center console so having multiple models with data descriptions is extremely useful!</p>
<p dir="auto">I think allowing users to select Compare Forecasts page settings will be a great feature for all users whether it be for waves or any other variable with multiple models to choose from.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you in advance!</p>

<p dir="auto">In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there are very high waves anywhere between 10-40 ft. Thankfully once they get towards the land they don't get that high. In the Island chain off Alaska, they will experience moderate to rough waves, under WMO, with 4-10ft approximately. The Western Coast of the US will get the more moderate side with 4-5 ft waves if that.</p>

All waves models don’t take into account the effect of current.
For WAM model from ECMWF(July 2018):
« Considerations when using output from ECWAM
Not yet modelled are the interaction of waves with sea-surface currents.  In particular areas, (e.g. Gulf Stream or Agulhas current), the current effect may give rise to localised changes of up to a metre in the wave height »
From
https://confluence.ecmwf.int/plugins/servlet/mobile?contentId=131397261#content/view/131397261
For WWW3 model it seems to be different (March 2019):
https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/WW3/wiki/Manual
Page 1
« The model [....] computes other transformation processes such as the effects of surface currents to wind and wave fields, and sub-grid blocking due to unresolved islands »
Page 163
« 3.9 Winds and currents
Model input mainly consists of wind and current fields. Within the model, winds and currents are updated at every time step ∆tg and represent values at the end of the time step considered. »
In any case it would be much better for you to sail downwind and down swell. But this is quite tricky in the Agulhas current area, the swell being mostly from SW. Don’t you plan a stop in Durban?
