Still gives plenty of time to put crustaceans on the table, and further up north, dungeness is open until the end of june. Yummy!
Just remember licenses (with ocean enhancement sticker for lobster) run the calendar year. Therefore you'll need another license on Jan 1 (in a few days) to hunt through the end of the season.

I thought lobsters were open year round?
Last summer my buddy & I used to dive the breakwalls & shoot at least a dozen each. :14:

In California the spiny lobster, no claws, has an off-season to give the bugs a break. The off season lasts through the spring, summer, and part of the fall months. This gives them a chance to breed and grow. A legal bug is about 3 years old.
Most of the contests for biggest bug are held on opening weekend after that the big bugs that got cocky during the off-season tend to hide very deeply during the "on" season.
