UCSB (no real harbor, Deep sand bed filtered)
Catalina brand (LA Harbor, different stories on filtering)
Scripps (no real harbor but part of the socal basin, not sure on the filtering but probably good)
UCSB and Scripps utilizes this water for Sea Urchin research studies amongst others. Good enough for them, works for me.
I think the only problem I see with NSW from SoCal is the calcium levels are a bit low.

Scripps water is run through 3 sand filters. I've been using it for years, Never had a problem. Just don't collect it after it rains or a red tide.
If it's good enough for The Birch Aquarium. It's good enough for me.
Plus it's free!
