Here are the links and description for the NCEP WWIII data: https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/ Under Ocean Models:Great Lakes Wave: https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/txt_descriptions/GLWave_model_forecast_doc.shtml The Great Lakes Wave Unstructured (GLWU) system provides wave guidance to the National Weather Service (NWS) Great Lakes region Weather Forecast Offices, and to the general public, using an implementation of the wave modeling framework WAVEWATCH III. The GLWU is implemented on an unstructured grid with resolution ranging from 2.5km in deep waters to 250m near the coast. The system runs 24 daily cycles, 20 of which provide short-range forecasts out to 48h, and 4 (01Z, 07Z, 13Z and 19Z) provide longer-range forecasts out to 149h. https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/wave/prod/ glwu: https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/wave/prod/glwu.20210727/ e.g., https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/wave/prod/glwu.20210727/glwu.grlc_2p5km.t01z.grib2.idx https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/data/nccf/com/wave/prod/glwu.20210727/glwu.grlc_2p5km.t01z.grib2 #2.5km Lambert Conformal Grid - Regional Great Lakes Wave Model #NDFD Wind Forcing Filename Inventory # glwu.grlc_2p5km.tCCz.grib2 FH00-149 # #https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/products/wave/ #Times in GMT Addition source of grib2 files for the Great Lakes: 1) Numerical data from the RDWPS in GRIB2 format (wind and waves) https://weather.gc.ca/grib/grib2_RDWPS_e.html 2) U.S. National Ice Center (Ice concentration) https://usicecenter.gov/Products/GreatLakesData 3) Squid Marine Weather Software and data http://lakeeriewx.com/CaseStudies/SquidSailing/SquidSailing.html 4) Free Grib Files from GMN Marine Weather Services (wind and waves) http://www.globalmarinenet.com/free-grib-file-downloads/ 5) Pivotel Free GRIB Files (wind and waves) https://www.pivotel.com/pivotel-free-weather-grib-files
