Water temperature is a relatively constant 80 degrees (give or take 2 degrees). For top-side weather you can check out Yahoo: Curacao Island Weather Forecasts on Yahoo! Weather.
Most people that dive Curacao either use a short wet suit or no wet suit at all (the last is not recommended for long or deep dives). I've never seen anyone with a long wet suit or cap.

It was 84 yesterday and, according to my dive computer, unchanged for the last two months. I'd be hard pressed to believe it's going to drop more than a degree or two over the month of November.

For the record, I just downloaded this weekend's dives from my dive computer to my PC. Since mid-September, the recorded low temp for all my dives has ranged from 83.1F to 83.9F (the low numbers were right after an unnamed storm). Sunday's three dives all were 70 feet or less and all recorded a low temp of 83.9F.
FWIW, Sunday I did Tugboat and didn't notice I'd left my shortie in the truck until the boat was under way. I dived without it and, my fears to the contrary notwithstanding, didn't much miss it.
EDIT:
Sorry, not that it matters but that was Sunday week ago I did Tugboat.

I just downloaded this weekend's dive data. My recorded low temp was 83.1F, and on a night dive. The last time I recorded a temp that low was 22 September.

Hi folks,
82 degrees is a pretty good temperature to assume for December - niiiiiiice! It's been particularly warm so far this year, 84 degrees for the last few months.
Most of our divers are heading out in skins, 2mm shorties or just board shorts and a smile.
Have fun on your Curacao trip
