Water temp at NSB during December is in the low to mid 60's. Every now and then you get current flow that pulls the jet stream closer to shore but the water is still cold for most people. The surfers are almost all wearing wet suits.
One thing to be on the lookout for is red tide. If you have never experienced it, all I can say it its bad. Had only one experience at NSB in over 25 years of going there it was hard to breath. Taking a deep breath was like breathing in hydrochloric acid. If you drove onto the mainland it was as if nothing was wrong.
The local radio stations and newspaper keep up on this but something to consider and it can happen on either coast.
