There are many areas on the broads where this is true. Waves due to winds are much bigger than any generated by boats. Many of these docks have breakwaters for protection. But there are many quiet coves on the lake where the wind is sheltered. There are no breakwaters for protection because they usually aren't needed. There's no protection for huge boat wakes when the lake is high.
