Guy,

The EFDC model uses coordinates identical to POM 
(orthogonal curvilinear coordinates in the horizontal,
sigma in the vertical). 

You can therefore use the Matlab and AVS routines 
developed for POM model visualization at: 

http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/modeling/omviz/

providing you take the "putcdf.f" subroutine you find there
and replace the references to POM variables with the 
equivalent EFDC variables: 

POM        EFDC
---        ----
DX(I,J)    DX(I,J)
DY(I,J)    DY(I,J)
H(I,J)  => DEPTH(I,J)
...        ...
...        ...

Good Luck,
