Narrative:
VMC flight ZZZ1 to sfo. Very busy arrival with runway change to 28R. Numerous headings airspeed and altitude changes on downwind. On runway 28R in trail of 777. This was no factor. We were paired up with a heavy airbus who was landing on 28L. Assigned speed 180 kts and heavy airplane was ahead of our aircraft. Winds 250/10 kts put that aircraft's wake turbulence directly on our path. Mitigated by flying high on the approach but still got some turbulence on final. Landing made in first 3000 ft of runway available.
