You could just shorten the rope if you think that'd help. Eyeball how much you want to take off while someone's riding, then tie either a bowline on a bite or a butterfly knot at the right spot. You can type either one in on google and find out how to tie it.

drag the rope behind the boat at the speed in which you pull, find where it is the cleanest and tallest part of the wake and tie it off by overlooping the rope on itself.

to do this, wrap the rope around the knob 3 times, the 3rd time, flipping the loop so the rope crosses over itself.
