In most years you should be into both wind and waves in late December. Hope it is the case this year as well. Winds may be anywhere from below thresh hold to honking strong if a strong front blows through (25 kts. to 30 kts.). Although the really strong fronts often come in the new year as opposed to December on average. If you can fit in three kites, say around 7 m, 9 - 10 m and 12 - 13 m, plus or minus, you should be well set. If you can't pack all three consider going with something within the larger two sizes. It has been pretty warm lately. In a normal year guys might be in 5/3 wetsuits, even some drysuits around St. Augustine to Jax. If you have a 5/3 or maybe a 4/3 (could be chilly if a strong front) that might work for you. I would talk to the guys at http://www.oceanextremesports.com/ to get their opinion on this as well. They're based in St. Augustine just to the north.
