We made an attempt to sail south out of Port Hacking that day, it was not comfortable and gusting to 40
All I can say is that shore in a southerly, has the ability to claim victim's, the seas build up along the coast, run across Bate Bay, get a boast off Osbourne Shoals and pound the beach!
Happy to retreat back to Jibbon for an attempt the next day!

Your experience seems to underline that you COULD get in and out of Port Hacking that day.
The news vid showed rough but not scary conditions that a good boat could have sailed upwind in.
