      We are steaming through this area and the weather pattern is very wrong as shown in Windy.
      Experiencing winds SSW Bf - 3/5. Wave height approx 2.4m.
      Current location - 37-54 S 032-32E.

        I don’t see what’s wrong. The ECMWF forecasts match perfectly your observations at your current location:

        Is your WP1 at your current location?
        Your screenshot shows your WP1 at same longitude as Marion island which is 037- 45E, but not 032-32E.
        So what is wrong? The weather forecast or the position of your WP1 ?

        In addition, when you have doubts about the forecast validity, it is important to check the date/time of the model update, clicking the small i at bottom-right corner of screen.
