Accordng to our weather gurus the next three months are going to be very wet. So late April would be the earliest I would plan a trip like this

Remind us of what points you will be traveling from/to?
Personally my favorite time is September and October. Weather is beautiful and most of the tourists have gone home.

We did that trip when I was about 9, and I believe it was in September or so. The weather was great, other than nobody warning me why my cousins were wearing wetsuits to go in the ocean.

Depends on what your activities are...ie there are specific months that are better for surfing.

No surfing but maybe get in some water. Daughter wants to see southern Florida, son Portland, so I thought see the sights? I think ca I think warm and sunny, but I'm guessing there are still seasons of a sort  |

That's still one heck of a drive. And Portland isn't on the coast.

How much time do you have?

We homeschool. If we do it this spring we can take our time. I'm guessing fall son will have a schedule, so that might make it difficult/ maybe he won't go the whole way.

I'd push it out to May then but "shelter in place" Memorial Day Weekend. You do not want to be on any freeway or beach road that weekend. 
And be sure you check road conditions if you drive the coastal highways. Yesterday I saw they closed Hwy 1 near our "new' tunnel (built to deal with on-going rockslides) because of a rockslide outside the tunnel and we have a big gapping hole in the coastal road by our pier due to waves undermining the road.
And El Nino hasn't really hit yet! We've only been experiencing a "normal" winter storm pattern. Stay tuned!

Hmmm...was there something you wanted to see on the way from Denver to the CA coast?
If you do go from CA to Portland, if you want, let me know when you've finalized the dates. We could meet up.
