Sea surface temperatures around Ireland are about 11C on average at the moment.

I'd imagine river water would be significantly cooler than that most of the time in December.

River water is definately colder at this time of year; the sea is a larger body of water and takes longer to adjust the overall temperature, whereas the rivers are smaller volumes which are more affected by the surrounding temperatures i.e. sun (lol), air temperature and ground temperature
