Procedure; Environment - Non Weather Related
At around 50 feet AGL over XXR in ZZZ; we encountered wake turbulence from the previous landing and went around.  Calm winds; tight arrival spacing; longer landing by the previous aircraft all added up to good conditions for wake turbulence.  Went around and landed on the next approach without issue.
Reporter stated the low altitude go-around was the safest option.
First Officer reported executing a go-around from 50 feet AGL after encountering wake turbulence from preceding aircraft.
