But coastal So Cal is pleasant most of the year.

Exactly. People forget that there are places in California that average 500 inches of snow a year and get down to -15, which interestingly, is not too far from the place which gets up to 130 in summer.
The reason why the ocean waters in California are relatively cold (72 - 75 degrees in summer) is the same reason why we have great surfing here. The ocean floor is pretty deep almost immediately off shore.. you would be underwater in about 50 feet
