Steps
Sign up for a Windy API key and review the Point Forecast pricing/quota tier needed
POST to https://api.windy.com/api/point-forecast/v2 with lat, lon, model, parameters, and levels
Select the model based on need - gfsWave for global wave data, cmems for ocean currents and tidal currents
For current data, request the currents and/or currentsTide parameters against the cmems model
Parse the returned time-series forecast values
Cache results per your plan's refresh interval rather than re-polling every request
Known gotchas
Ocean current and tidal-current data ARE available via Point Forecast (model=cmems, currents/currentsTide parameters) - this is no longer a Map-Forecast-only feature, so re-check current docs before assuming you need the separate Map Forecast product just for current values
gfsWave has documented coverage gaps (partial Hudson Bay, Black Sea, Caspian Sea, most of the Arctic) - a marina in those waters gets no wave data from this model
Point Forecast is a POST with a JSON body, not a simple GET with query params - follow the Swagger docs exactly
