Lake Tawakoni's open water areas span several miles in multiple directions, allowing south and southeast winds to build substantial wave heights on exposed north and northwest facing shorelines in Rains and Van Zandt counties. These wave conditions on exposed Lake Tawakoni shorelines are among the more energetic for an inland Texas reservoir - bank erosion rates on unprotected clay shoreline sections facing the open lake can be significant over years of cumulative wave loading. Shore Protect Team designs Lake Tawakoni retaining walls and rock revetment for the specific wave height and frequency at each property's shoreline orientation rather than applying a single standard across the entire lake.
