The late time physics of interacting Quantum Field Theories at finite
temperature is controlled by hydrodynamics. For CFTs this implies that
heavy operators -- which are generically expected to create thermal
states -- can be studied semi-classically. I will show that hydrodynamic
loops universally fix the OPE coefficients C_{HH'L}, on average, of all
neutral light operators with two non-identical heavy ones, as a function
of the scaling dimension and spin of the operators. These methods can be
straightforwardly extended to CFTs with global symmetries, and
generalize recent EFT results on large charge operators away from the
case of minimal dimension at fixed charge.
