Yes, you are correct, OAK should be dead on New Year's Eve. One other thing, I have found the airport to be less busy at that time of the day in general. Busy times seem to be in the morning, say 6-10A, and in the late evening, as the redeyes prepare to depart.
Perhaps someone with more OAK experience can offer further comments.
