It would be nice if Windy provided a way to see just pws stations on the map. It would be helpful to find neighbors,.compare data, etc. There is a way to pull the entire database of Windy pws stations (non-madis) using your API key and you then get this nasty text dump file. The problem is that there is no CR after every record and the fields don't line up for every station as some have different columns. So it's a mess. I worked and manipulate the data in Excel and it wasn't easy nor fun. That dump file should be fixed. If you want to learn how to do it then read the API documentation. But you better know how to manipulate raw data, or it is just gibberish.

@ockygto Right, significant waves height is more important for boating than Swell itself. If you compare NOAA wave charts with Windy using the NOAA model, Wavewatch3, the maps are quite similar for significant waves heights, which is reassuring:

@antinucci Fine, you got it ! I’ve just seen your sea temperature animation. Excellent ! It is easy to change color settings on Windy, but looking to the map, the color/temperature scale in low-right corner shows always the same range -5°F to 100°F, so it’s useless in your case.

@sfmadmax As Windy uses OpenStreetMap, have you tried to add your airstripe in https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7/44.092/-70.170 ? I'm not sure if it will work ... maybe @TomSlavkovsky knows better.

I'm sorry, but historical data is not available.
