      Is there anyway that Windy can import Buoy data and if you do, how can I access it? This would be a great real time verification of ECMWF, GFS and ICON wave height models?

        Buoys data is imported into Windy. Buoys appear at sea when you select Reported wind or Reported temperature. Unfortunately in Windy buoys are labelled as "ship" which makes it impossible to distinguish them from real ships, except by their code.
        But they are not reporting wave heights.

          @idefix37 Thank you. It's a shame that they can't add the reported wave heights into that observation.
