Re: Which model used for currents/ waves and what resolution?
The German Weather Service / Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) offers free wave models on global, European und German scale:

Area	Resolution	Wind source	Boundary conditions	Time horizon
WAM-global	0.0625° x 0.0625°	ICON	–	T+174h
WAM-europe	0.05° x 0.10°	ICON-EU	WAM-global	T+78h
WAM-coast (Germany)	30" x 50" ~900m	COSMO-D2	WAM-europe	T+48h

Maybe this can be added as another model option?

@chstdu I know the developers are currently working on bringing the global ICON model into Windy. I would assume they would also add the wave models from ICON since they should be connected.
