Weatherunderground usually has graphs available for US cities. Here is
the graph for Santa Cruz.

http://www.wunderground.com/NORMS/DisplayNORMS.asp?AirportCode=KSFO&SafeCityName=San_Francisco&StateCode=CA&Units=none&IATA=SFOThe SF one is smoother, so I assume it averages more years. I do note
that the high for the year is in September for San Francisco.
No doubt the Pacific ocean and wind currents play a major role in SF
