Default marine weather question

when I see a marine weather report, the wind direction is given. for
example: wind from the southwest at 10-15 knots.

is the wind direction based on the true compass direction or magnetic?

So,, wind from the southwest = wind from 225* true

And if along the coast of Maine this would mean = wind from 242* magnetic

Do I have this right?
