WWW3 model does not seem available for Mediterranean Sea

Are there wave forecast data(for European waters)
in DWD's wave prediction model?

@Gkikas-LGPZ @idefix37 I don't know if this can help but this link explain how the consortium LAMMA managed to use the model WW3 in the Mediterranean Sea

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?
