Perfect weather is subjective. On this map perfect weather has been defined with temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 29°C (84°F) and not too much precipitation (less than 90 mm (3.5 in) a month).
Cold weather calls for smart layering in December. A thermal base layer makes a huge difference in staying warm. Add a wool sweater or fleece, then a wind-resistant outer jacket. Rain gear is recommended, you can expect wet weather on multiple days. Expect water temperatures of around 6°C (43°F), which is definitely too cold for comfortable swimming. Your luggage space is better used for other items. You can probably leave your sunglasses at home, because sunny days are pretty rare this month.
