Hello,

we use gfsWave model and have two wave variables to choose from:

• windWaves
• waves

do you have a recommendation, when should we use which? for example open water vs local waters?

Thank you
Piotr

Hello,

we are looking at getting wave heigh data with highest possible refresh rate. At the moment we use API call:

curl --location 'https://api.windy.com/api/point-forecast/v2' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "lat": 60.686,
    "lon": -2.551,
    "model": "gfsWave",
    "levels": ["surface"],
    "parameters": ["waves", "windWaves"],
    "key": "xxx"
}'

Because of our premium subscription, we get an update every 6 hours. Is there any other way to get more frequent update? Like for wind and temperature (every 1 hour)

curl --location 'https://api.windy.com/api/point-forecast/v2' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "lat": 60.686,
    "lon": -2.551,
    "model": "gfs",
    "levels": ["surface"],
    "parameters": ["temp", "wind", "windGust", "precip", "ptype"],
    "key": "xxx"
}'

Thanks!
P.
