Not sure I get what you mean? The coastal waters forecasts issued early this morning had S to SE winds shifting NE in the late morning and early afternoon... which is exactly what's happened if you look at the obs for various places.

e.g. "Gold Coast waters forecast: South to southeasterly 15 to 20 knots, reaching up to 25 knots offshore south of Point Lookout early in the morning. Winds shifting north to northeasterly 10 to 15 knots in the afternoon."
