Note that the input netCDF data contains a "scale factor", which for significant wave height hs is 0.002. Xarray is netCDF-aware and knows what to do with this, which is why when we plot the data it comes out in the range 0-2.5m.
It may be possible to do area extraction not only point, I recommend point here to avoid hitting THREDDS server limits. It's fine to experiment with area extraction but unintuitive errors may result.
Although I ran this on an HPC interactive node, this code could be executed on a laptop and it shouldn't take much longer - we're not taking advantage of the HPC here.
