Problem is come in the summer. Best weather on the coast here is winter.
Except for infrequent rain storms, is sunny at the coast. And when we get
large storms way out at sea, is great to take a day over to the coast to
watch huge breakers. When we get the 20-25' swells.

We were in California in June and Oregon in July. (separate trips)
The beach was freezing both times. Oregon was in the 50s and low 60s
at the beach. Inland was a lot warmer and the Gorge (Columbia river
near Mt Hood) was "Florida hot". Up on the mountain was a lot cooler.

This is near the Timberline Lodge where "The Shining" was filmed.

When we got down to San Diego/LaJolla the weather was very pleasant,
mid 70s but the water is still pretty cold.
