On coasts dominated by cross-shore sediment-transport, incident wave-energy primarily controls temporal shoreline variability (Splinter et al., 2014). Truc Vert beach (SW France) is a high-energy meso-macrotidal multiple-barred beach where monthly to bimonthly surveys have been performed since May 1998. Surveys with an alongshore coverage larger than 350 m (from May 2005 to May 2014) are used to calibrate an equilibrium shoreline model (Castelle et al., 2014). The calibrated model explains 66% of the observed shoreline variability over the calibration period. Over the entire survey period (1998-2014), the model skilfully reproduces the observed shoreline evolution patterns. Especially, the intra-annual shoreline variability driven by the seasonal wave climate as well as shoreline response to individual storms and storm groups are well reproduced. A significant shoreline inter-annual variability (blue arrows in Figure 1) is also found, which is likely driven by the climate variability over the North Atlantic Ocean.< Réduire
