Not sure if it’s helpful, but I was trying to figure out something similar and came up with this: [Limiting View distance for a player - #5 by JerzMcDerz](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/limiting-view-distance-for-a-player/291413/5)

I imagine you could use this method and add/remove the plane as needed. Add some “dirty” particles to the water volume to get the full effect you are looking for. Should get you close anyway.

GL!
