This summer.....

Heya!
I've never posted here before, but was hoping someone might have some advice?!
My best friend and I graduate this summer, and want to go somewhere for Late June/July and August that we could work and surf- more for the surf really as we were both bitten by the bug last summer and want to improve... not aiming to earn a fortune, but hopefully not come out of the summer in too much debt!!
We were thinking of going to California, as I have family in San Francisco who we could visit after... is that a good time to go there? Or are there other places you'd suggest (preferably where it's summer then!) to go?
Where would be the best place to go, and do you think we might be able to get any casual bar/ youth hostel or other work there for that time? (We're both English)
Although I've been travelling quite a lot before, as we are both girls safety is also a consideration- any places to avoid?
Thank you so much- any advice is welcome!!
