The commercial certificated pilot was landing toward the east on a remote beach area. The pilot said the wind conditions were a 10 to 15 knot wind from the east-southeast, with occasional higher gusts from the south. During the landing roll, the pilot indicated that a gust of wind lifted the right wing, and the left wing contacted the sand. The airplane received structural damage to the left wing and the left elevator.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions and his failure to maintain control of the airplane that resulted in the left wing striking the ground during the landing roll. A factor contributing to the accident was the presence of wind gusts.
