Wind on map is opposite direction to the forecast

I am looking at the wind conditions on Lake Ontario to judge conditions for a sail race on Sunday Sept 20th at 10 am.

The map shows the opposite direction to the forecast direction
And a very large discrepancy in speed for gusts.

@danahyjo Hello, we are aware that this can be a bit confusing. Our new default forecast model in the detail is Meteoblue AI, but since Meteoblue doesn't offer any Map data, we still use ECMWF for a map.

@Suty Thank you for the explanation. That's very helpful to know.
