Where I was docking my boat, the wave problem wasn't wind caused wave action, but rather from boat wakes. Most came from a direction essentially from the port aft to the starboard bow, an angle.
Besides dock lines and whip lines fore and aft, I also used a spring line that ran from an aft dock cleat to the boat mid-cleat then on to a bow dock cleat. It did a great job of keeping the boat aligned with the whips , virtually eliminating back and forth motion.
