It can be like this especially in June and sometimes in July and August. It can be like this from Morro Bay north to the Oregon border if you are within 20 to 50 miles of the ocean. The prevailing wind is off the ocean. So, as the summer heat builds up inland it sucks the fog (high and low) off the ocean as the inland desert and inland farmland has the heat rising off of it which draws the breezes off the ocean.
However, things like Redwoods and pine forests and ferns and even oaks do well because of all the moisture in the air coming off the ocean in the high and low fog and mists from the ocean.
However, if you live anywhere else on earth and haven't been here before you might not know this when traveling to California.
So, if you want hot 80 to 100 degrees or more you are more likely to find in inland and not along the northern California coast during especially June but sometimes July and August. I went for a walk today at about 7 pm in the forests and walked through the redwoods and fern forests nearby. It was about 57 degrees and likely didn't get above 65 degrees all day. So, you have about a 20 to 30 percent chance of having sun along the coast from June through July of almost any year. And most places along the coast the single highest temperature will be not higher than 85 degrees Fahrenheit all summer long. It might get hotter than that in September or October but 85 is usually the hottest it ever gets in June or July. The most sunlight on the northern California coast will be in the spring, fall and winter of the year. So, fall and spring are the best times for sun here.
If you want sun and heat go to Santa Barbara south to San Diego for really hot ocean beach weather from June to September or October in California.
