Thank you for your link.
Apparently LaMMA uses the WWW3 model from the NOAA to forecast waves field in Mediterranean Sea.
Windy does not run any weather models but visualize data received from numerical prediction centers like NOAA, ECMWF....
So the question is....does LaMMA provide free data from this model? And would Windy accept a new data source?
Then for which reason do you prefer WWW3?
Thanks for the answer, very good and extense. Also showed me another open good tool, that openstreet .Thank you.
Let me in gratitude tell you my story, briefly.
Buen rollo, no disputes or political disscusion.
Is lots of good trout here in Hemsedal and i use Windy (of course) to check if is going to be a good fishing day and.....
BOOM
The name of the villige was changed to «trout»!!, written in russian, the rest of the map normal english. how funny!! IT should be a perfect catch day.
I might raise the issue in that forum perhaps but i just found IT funny and have no especial interest in change it, is a fun codename for Hemsedal.
Greetings keep the good work

All waves models don’t take into account the effect of current.
For WAM model from ECMWF(July 2018):
« Considerations when using output from ECWAM
Not yet modelled are the interaction of waves with sea-surface currents. In particular areas, (e.g. Gulf Stream or Agulhas current), the current effect may give rise to localised changes of up to a metre in the wave height »

For WWW3 model it seems to be different (March 2019):
https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/WW3/wiki/Manual
Page 1
« The model [....] computes other transformation processes such as the effects of surface currents to wind and wave fields, and sub-grid blocking due to unresolved islands »
Page 163
« 3.9 Winds and currents
Model input mainly consists of wind and current fields. Within the model, winds and currents are updated at every time step ∆tg and represent values at the end of the time step considered. »
In any case it would be much better for you to sail downwind and down swell. But this is quite tricky in the Agulhas current area, the swell being mostly from SW. Don’t you plan a stop in Durban?
Concerning receiving data via satellite phone:

Hi @iosman123 , thank you for your message. Could you tell me which version of iOS you have please? If you have iOS 10 - delete the app and install it again, it should be working. Hope it helps!
@chuckthee Hi, thank you for your report. Unfortunately you are not the only one. When we tested it on iOS 13 it worked. Could you please tell us more details? E.g. version of your iPhone?
There is separate topic on this in our forum: https://community.windy.com/topic/9657/zoom-ios-13
We are investigating on this, to find the solution as quickly as possible. Also Apple is planning to release iOS 13.1 tomorrow, so there are obviously more bugs than zooming in Windy :-(
