How bad will the tides be here?

On an Earthlike planet with one large moon (just like Earth's), I have a large landlocked sea with one narrow exit (like the Black Sea, but much larger, something like six or eight Mediterraneans, with an exit about 10-20km wide).
How extreme will the behaviour of the water be with the changing tides?
For example, will it be possible for a shipping port to operate on a decent-sized island in the exit channel? Will there be whirlpools most of the time, or only when the tide is running strongest?
