Reply to J.J. Muñoz-Perez et al. Comments on “Confirmation of beach accretion by grain-size trend analysis: Camposoto beach, Cádiz, SW Spain” by E. Poizot et al. (2013) Geo-Marine Letters 33(4)

In a novel finding for a beach environment, Poizot\udet al. (2013) identified an FB+ trend (sediments becoming\udfiner, better sorted and more positively skewed upshore) on a\udwell-developed swash bar on the upper foreshore of the\udCamposoto beach of Cádiz in SW Spain. In their Discussion\udof that paper, Muñoz-Perez et al. (2014) provide some\udsupporting arguments and also report grain-size, beach profile\udand other data from nearby beaches which differ from those of\udPoizot and colleagues for Camposoto beach, pointing out that\uda trend observed on one beach may not apply to a\udneighbouring beach. However, even though the absolute\udvalues differ, the overall trends actually do show the same\udgeneral behaviour. In our Reply to their comments, we also\udaddress some difficulties in comparing granulometric datasets\udgenerated by different analytical techniques
