Out of the places shown in the table. Didn't see the gulf of Mexico there.
That's because it's not the height of summer anymore The ≤32°C are only around mid July. Gulf temperatures are around 29-30°C right now. That SST chart seems to only list Pacific stations, not Gulf or Atlantic

I'll swim anywhere where it happens to be over 28 degrees. I know Guam isn't the only place where that happens. Because the table only showed Guam, that's why I said Guam.

Only the very south of California has decent temps, the rest are purely disgusting and those temps around SF are as bad as SSTs around Tasmania in the middle of winter!
I agree with you. Only from LA down to the Mex border is decent in summer. Currently in Santa Monica Bay off of Long Beach the temp is 70F and goes up to 74F from Oceanside down to San Diego.
I haven't had a proper summer in California, but comparing it to the NSW south coast, I would say California. The feel of the sun was the biggest difference I noticed- a less intense feel in coastal California. Possibly less bugs and less of a bushfire risk as well, even though California is bad for fires, NSW has more bush (and burnt out areas). California is also warmer in winter. Coastal NSW generally looks greener
Southern NSW seems to have a California feel to despite, some obvious differences. It even has the mountains and snowy climates, not too far away.
there are mountains with snow almost everywhere California, and California is much colder than Australia. although southeast asutralian coast has colder winters than coastal California due to its latitude.
How do you know that a 19C shade temp, would feel like 39C in the sun, or is that an approximation? Is there an unbiased way of working out the hot the sun feels on the skin at a given temp? I asked this question indirectly awhile ago, but didn't get much response. http://www.city-data.com/forum/weath...shade-sun.html
I also thought that the SoCal sun felt nice for the time of year, and lacked the burning sensation of here. There should be more energy and heat in the SoCal sun given the lower latitude, but it felt like there was less heat in the sun. I know UVI is only said to make a slight difference. Could air pollution take a bit of the sting out of the coastal California sun?
no its, the earth's axis. during nov-march, the earth is closer to the sun, and these months are the summer season for the southern hemisphere. a combination of these factors means very warm summers with strong sunshine in australia.
"Healthful" is rather a subjective term that isn't much used these days. In the old days people from Britain who had asthma and some other conditions were packed off to places like Perth in Australia, which were considered to have "healthful" climates.
Coastal Australia is generally warmer than California (there are exceptions of course) so I'd choose Australia. Certainly California has nothing like Townsville, Innisfail or Cairns which I'd place well above anything California has to offer.
The OP is comparing a golf cart to an airbus. Does he not know realise how vast coastal Australia is? I mean, seriously:
He is comparing this...
To a relatively small coastal sliver:
Northwest Australia is anything but healthful. The summers are very humid with dewpoints reaching over 25C, and the rest of the year has drought for the most part. The far north coast is hot and humid all year round. The northeast is wet and prone to tropical cyclones that bring flash flooding and destructive conditions. The southwest and southeast are the only habitable areas with decent climates, although they are prone to bushfires and the latter can get stormy as well.
You can see that coastal Australia has an array of climates, whereas coastal California is mostly temperate to subtropical Mediterranean with substantial semi-arid tendencies in the south. One simply cannot compare that strip piece of land to the whole Australian coast. Lol...
