Weather
Arriving runway 25 (the active runway); there was a crosswind from approximately 180; that was transitioning at times to a quartering tailwind. Landing started nominally with a 1 point landing on the front left wheel; transitioning to a 2 wheel landing. As the plane slowed; the wind began to push the tail to the right; causing the airplane to swing to the left. Correcting to the right; the plane came too far to the right and ground looped. The left wing touched the runway; as did the left elevator; causing damage to both; as well as the rim of the left wheel. No occupants were injured; and the plane was able to be taxied safely off of the runway.
C180 pilot reported losing directional control after landing resulting in a ground loop.
