doing in gusty conditions is fannying about in the flare because your approach speed was too high and the aeroplane is still flying whilst you move further from the trimmed approach speed and lose finesse as a result.
But Beagle thats landing technique which is wrong I would suggest that in strong crosswind and gusting conditions the last thing you want to be doing is hanging around in the flare full stop.

Anyone with excess speed above the stall on landing who floats is indicative of landing technique being wrong.

In some conditions its better to fly it on
