Inflight Event / Encounter Wake Vortex Encounter; Inflight Event / Encounter Unstabilized Approach
Flight Crew Took Evasive Action; Flight Crew Executed Go Around / Missed Approach
Environment - Non Weather Related; Procedure
About 50 feet from touchdown we encountered light to moderate wake turbulence from a B737 that had landed right before us on Runway XXR in ZZZ with little delay in separation. As a result; the left wing dipped down and I made the decision to execute a go around out of caution as we were low to the ground near ground effect with no room for error. Went around and circled back around for second approach and landed uneventfully and had plenty of fuel on board.
EMB-145 Captain reported executing a low altitude go-around at ZZZ after encountering wake turbulence from preceding B737.
