Get the NWS hourly wind FORECAST (speed, gust, direction — plus wave height where the grid carries it) for a latitude/longitude. Data comes from the NWS forecast grid (api.weather.gov gridpoints — numeric NDFD values, not display strings). Horizon is up to ~7 days (156 hours), starting at the current hour. US and territories only. Wave height appears for marine/nearshore gridpoints; swell/period fields are typically only populated for open-ocean points. Units: english = knots and feet (default), metric = m/s and meters. Direction is degrees true, the direction the wind blows FROM. This is FORECAST data. For observed (measured) wind at a NOAA station right now, use noaa_get_meteorological_data (product "wind"). For the official marine text forecast (Coastal Waters Forecast narrative with small-craft advisories), use nws_get_marine_forecast.
