How often is it kiteable that time of year in the general vicinity?

What kite sizes are riders typically on that time of year? I have the following sizes: 8m, 9m, 10m, 12m. Is it likely I would need something bigger? Or, put another way, if 12m is the biggest size I bring, am I likely to get shut out over the period of one week?

How are the air and water temps then? Should I bring a shorty? Or a full wetsuit?
12m mostly in Nov., although you can also find 16m and 9m days.
that time of year you can expect to find 2-3 days a week in that size maybe even a smaller size if a really strong front comes thru. if you want to increase your chances to 4-5 days a week bring a 16m 12m and 9m.

shorty is definitely all you need, air may be cooler than the water temps, low 70s or maybe high 60s
