Silicon Valley has similar weather, so that would be easy" Hate to burst your bubble, but as someone who lived in the Valley for 10 years, then San Diego, no, the weather in the Valley is not nearly as nice as SoCal! San Francisco gets the ocean breeze, though it's more like a freezing cold foggy rain. (We used to have this ongoing joke in SF: "How do you know that person is a tourist? Because he's wearing shorts!") I lived in Pacifica, which was beautiful, and right on the coast, but it was never warm and breezy like SoCal. The rest of the Valley is a 1-hour+ drive from the coast, and it gets that "inland hot" weather. Not like the IE, but like a mini-IE. You don't want to live in San Jose without air conditioning. I don't really miss the weather in the Valley!
