Docking next to Bulkhead

I have a side tie at my fixed bulkhead. Usually no problem.
My boat measures about 45+ feet from anchor to further steps aft point in platform and my spot is 50 feet long so it can get a bit tight.
Stays put with a bow line, stern line, and two spring lines to keep it from moving too far back and forth.
Gets a little more challenging when a strong wind is pushing me off of the dock. It makes coming in a little tougher, and when tied up and hanging out on the boat it means I have to keep pulling the boat closer to the dock with the lines to get on and off. Not a big deal though, except when my hands are full.
