Not much. better have a long wide runway if more than 10 knots component. You can not really crab it and wing low technique is reduced by the weight of the floats so far below the aircraft. Add in brake issues, seeing they see a lot of water. Even in the best of conditions you need to stay ahead on runway landings. Water is easy, usually runway unlimited, always direct headwind. Of course glassy water another story.
