From past experience, unless there is wind involved, the long period swells shouldn't be a factor except for the capt's at the inlets. However those long period swells go deep, very deep and there usually is a very significant surge and bottom vis is generally on the order of 10' and less. The good side of all this is that it will mix the thermocline and I would expect bottom temps to be in the mid 60's. Once the silt settles down in about a week, barring any more offshore disturbances and swells you can expect some of the best vis of the season. Generally in the order of 40'+ along with the warm temps..
