Well there's Lake Perris, but is it diveworthy? Not really.
If you're up for a drive, you can head over to Lake Mead, just outside of Vegas..
Or just come down to La Jolla- the shores is a relatively easy dive (most of the time).

The major summer stroms which produce swells generally originate in the south off Baja and slam into the south facing Orange county beaches.
During the winter months most of the swells originate in the north up around Alaska, since OC beaches face south the beaches are protected from the strom generated swells.
Best OC diving is late fall, especially when the Santana are blowing, the winter and early spring.
Go back to your "Instructor" and inquire why he didn't cover this in a basic class?
FYI--very little lake diving in or around OC.

Good luck
