Flight Crew Executed Go Around / Missed Approach; Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Environment - Non Weather Related; Procedure
Cleared to land on runway 28R. After landing clearance received; the approach continued. I visually noted an A380 still on runway 28R. As the approach continued; I witnessed the A380 starting his takeoff roll. At approximately 50 ft we were caught in the A380's jet blast and the aircraft began to rock back and forth. I thought it would be best to execute a go- around. The Tower asked the reason for the go-around and I advised wake turbulence/jet blast because the Super [had] just lifted off as we were about to touch down.
B737 Captain on short final at SFO reported executing a go-around after encountering jet blast from a departing A380 that rocked the aircraft.
