Speed increase lengthen out the wake for sure. And weight in the bow as well. So I will fill the front 100%
If you put to much weight in the back, the wave will be shorter as well. So if you had an additional 750 in the back, front need to be full.
On the other hand, try to empty the rear right ballast as you are surfing left side. You are looking to list the boat on the surf side, by putting weight on the other side, you are doing the opposite.
I have a 2014 VLX with surfgate, and I'm surfing around 17 km/h, which is around 10.6 mph. When I run the boat around 9.8 mph the wave doesn't look nice, and increase the speed is a big improvement.
Try to run the boat without surfing, one time with right ballast 50% and one time empty, and for sure put a 750 rear locker left. When you figure out which configuration seems to make the best wake, then adjust the speed with the cruise control until you have the nicest wake. Start with 9.8 mph, and increase the speed one click by one click, and I' m sure you will find the good speed.
Good luck !
