Any thoughts on doing some beach dives after this Tropical Depression / Storm pushes through?

Not really concerned about "good" vis, I did a few this summer with only about 1-2 ft vis. How long after a storm like this do the beach dive conditions become "safe/acceptable"

Thanks
 
It's Monday 9/5 and the vis is still 0
Hope that by next weekend it will have improved
there was a lot of beach erosion and will take some time for it to settle
out of the water column
 
I don't think that there's any reliable way to tell. I went diving 2 days after hurricane Charley and had 30' of visibility, possibly the best I've seen there ever. Found a $20 floating in the current, too.
 
Was just curious, didn't make it down there. If the storm had pushed through about 2 Or 3 days sooner, I probably would have made the trip down.
Guess now I will have to wait till Thanksgiving....
 
should be good at Thanksgiving, but colder!
