Crushing a leaf would have confirmed it for you. I don't think it's a Bay (Umbellularia californica) Mine are a brighter green. Also I notice some fuzziness on the stems and one of the leaves. Hard to tell without a better picture of the foliage close up, but depending on the size of the leaves, I might think it could be a tan oak (Notholithocarpus densiflorus) ... I don't think they grow that far south though... so ??
