I was there on Friday during a major blow and on Saturday during a calmer but still stiff northwest wind of about 15mph.
On Friday it was very murky, visability only about a foot or less. On Saturday it was night and day difference during high tide and most of th outgoing. You could see easily three feet under the surface, maybe more.
It's the wind that wrecks havoc back in the back bays and churns the water, increasing turbidity. If you have calm winds, the water should be clear one or two tides after winds less than 15mph. HOpe this helps. There are also a few web cams in Indian River inlet that give live footage that might help. Or call a few bait and tackle stores for more info. There's Old Inlet Bait and tackle and Hookem and Cookem within a half mile of the inlet.
Good luck
BTW the fishing on Saturday was amazing. Gannets as far as the eye can see with large striped bass sucking up 12" bunker everywhere you looked about .5 to one mile outside the inlet.
