MSW should be used as a forecasting tool, not as a forecast.

It shows the swell size, the period, the direction, and the wind. Use all these to work out where will be the best spot. Forget about the star system.

For what its worth, yes it'll be a big powerful wave - but the wind will be onshore. Not quite blown out, but not pretty glassy barrels.
