  abstract = {{R}eflected waves account for a significant part of the nearshore energy budget and influence incoming waves, nearshore circulation and sediment transport. {T}he use of swash parameters to estimate wave reflection is investigated at three different beaches ranging from highly reflective to dissipative. {I}t is observed that it is essential to account for swash processes when estimating reflection, in particular at intermediate and reflective beaches with a steep beachface. {O}ur results show that runup asymmetry in uprush/backwash can be used as a proxy for dissipation in the swash zone: larger asymmetry values indicating greater dissipation. {I}n our dataset, a reflection predictor based on runup asymmetry has better skill in comparison to empirical predictors based on surf similarity, because runup is a process that integrates both surf and swash zone wave transformation. {R}unup asymmetry behaves as a swash similarity parameter and reflects an equilibrium between swash period, slope and dissipation.},
