Our docks may be comparable: The lake level was 10 inches below the highest walking level of my dock at Noon today. A big wake could wash across the walking surface. It's not perfectly level, due to previous amateur ice damage repairs. (Mine)
Mine would be among the last in my neighborhood to sink below the surface as they did in '84 and '98. (I have photos taken of flooded neighbors' docks in '84 -- which was before my present dock was installed).
It drizzled most of last night and part of the morning. The level was above all of the pilings themselves a few days ago, and the cross-members (6X8's) atop the pilings are mostly submerged today. (The dock obviously can't be easily adjusted for height -- and wouldn't want to).
Until about late August, parts of my dock are splashed by big wakes hitting the immediate rocky shore and splashing
backwards onto the walking surface.
It's all a compromise: it's a big stretch down to get into boats towards the end of the season.
The winds have been variable. When the wind is just right, waves make continuous -- and friendly -- "clip-
clop-clip-
clop" sounds of invisible passing horses on the undersides of the dock.
