What the rule says

Oklahoma has no statewide wakesurfing-specific law. General towing rules require an observer or mirrors. Heavily used lakes such as Grand Lake and Lake Texoma enforce stricter no-wake zones, and some waters limit high-speed operation or close to motorized use; wake-surf limits are set locally/by waterbody.

Statewide rules are the floor, not the whole picture

Individual lakes routinely add stricter limits on top of the state rule — no-wake zones, time-of-day windows, horsepower caps, and wider shoreline setbacks are all set locally by counties, lake districts, and land managers. Check the local authority for the specific water before launching.
