Purpose of and procedures for rough water approach and landing.
Bottom line
Rough water is a very subjective and relative term; conditions harmless to small boats can be too rough for a seaplane. In most instances, make the approach the same as for any other water landing. In general, make the touchdown at a somewhat flatter pitch attitude than usual.
