The commercial pilot reported that after landing the float-equipped airplane in the water, a quartering tailwind lifted the left wing, and the airplane nosed over in the harbor. He said the airplane drifted onto the rocks and damaged both wings. He reported there were no known mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions while water taxiing. A factor contributing to the accident was wind gusts.
