Remember:

It is not ideal 100%, but the weather in California that month is, according to seasonal norms, pretty good in Los Angeles , Morro Bay, Lompoc, Carlsbad, Palm Springs, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Malibu, Temecula, Huntington Beach, Santa Monica, Newport Beach, Oxnard, Hollywood, San Luis Obispo, Joshua Tree National Park, San Clemente, Chula Vista, San Bernardino, San Diego and Topanga. I allows to enjoy sightseeing in these locations. And even why not take a little time to relax under the sun!
