Narrative:

Seaplane landing. On landing rollout after normal touchdown, the aircraft veered (yaw) left striking some rocks on a nearby beach. Possible wind wxvane or a swell cocked aircraft to left enough so full right rudder would not bring it back to normal in time. Maybe land in more open water or higher pitch angle for more yaw stability would be a way to correct problem.
