I lived in California most of my life. September is quite hot, at least by my standards at that time. I would suggest October. June is usually cold, I remember graduating from high school with a coat under my robe. I moved to Florida in 1991 and thought I would die from the heat, I am not sure how I would feel now. I can't even go inside a restaurant now without a sweater! What is your comfort zone? The coast is almost always cool, that is where I lived. We never had or needed air conditioning. If you go down along the coast, enjoy the fabulous view. See Big Sur, take the17 mile drive through Carmel and Pebble Beach Country Club. Morro Bay is very scenic, reminiscent of the Oregon coast. Hearst Castle is amazing. If you like beef, I lived in Santa Maria for 14years and the famous Santa Maria BBQ is not to be missed. The Central Coast is also home to some of the best steak houses anywhere. Santa Barbara is beautiful and the drive from there to Ventura has outstanding ocean views. I do miss it. I can give you lots of tips. PM me.
