Narrative:
On arrival to at ZZZ; I was the pilot monitoring and the flying pilot was landing with a crosswind that continually shifted and the last 50 feet the descent was steeper than he anticipated. On touchdown he bounced the main gear and rather try to fix an unstable situation or risk a tail strike ordered a go around. We executed a go around and then landed normally on [the same runway] without further incident.
