Narrative:The pilot landed the seaplane in a protected bay in order to wait for the weather to improve at his destination. He said the wind and seas were calm; however, during landing, the seaplane encountered a swell. The seaplane porpoised, and the left horizontal stabilizer contacted the water.
Probable Cause: The pilot-in-command's failure to identify the swells prior to landing. A factor was the water swells.
