I am a little rusty because I haven't flown much over the past 12 months.  We had a tailwind on final; but as ZZZ frequently does; they asked us to keep our speed up and maintain 180 knots until ZZZZZ (the final approach fix on XL ILS).  I had configured to flaps 10 and gear down before ZZZZZ.  After we crossed ZZZZZ I finished configuring but the plane did not want to slow down after flaps 25; possibly because we hit a gust or went through a shear zone.  I was so distracted by the amount of difficulty I was having getting the plane to slow down so I could call for flaps 30 that I didn't realize we were lowering the flaps to 30 just as we passed through 1;000 feet.The tailwind on final;  ZZZ's request for us to keep our speed up; my relative lack of proficiency and my not paying close enough attention to our altitude were the causes for my error.I will start configuring even earlier when contending with a tailwind on final.
After fully configuring the aircraft for landing; I realized that we were below 1;000 feet.A tail wind; ATC assigning 210 knots on final; and a lack of recent experience all combined played a role in my late recognition of configuring below 1;000 feet.Configuring the aircraft earlier; and paying closer attention to procedures.
Air carrier flight crew reported an unstabilized approach due to lack of recent flying experience; weather; and ATC instructions.
