Human Factors
Aircraft X was on final to Runway 28 Left following Aircraft Y; by about 4 mile visual approach/separation. At about 600 feet Aircraft X advised they were going around. Local Control asked the reason and the pilot stated 'Wake turbulence.' I coordinated the go around with the departure coordinator.At the time; there was a quartering tailwind; ideal for the wake turbulence remaining active in the trailing aircraft's flight profile.
SFO Tower Controller reported a go-around due to wake turbulence.
