The weather can be unpredictable in December, so pack clothes you can easily mix and match. You could bring jeans, other long pants, and a few t-shirts. A light jacket or light sweater will be pleasant for the cooler moments. Also bring a poncho, it will rain a lot! Waterproof everything you can. Expect water temperatures of around 14°C (57°F), which is definitely too cold for comfortable swimming. Your luggage space is better used for other items.
