Usually one a year.
Since they're pregnant for more than a year, less than one.

The Humpback Whale is not in California. It is in the Pacific Ocean near California. The Humpback Whales migrate every year up and down the coast of California, down to Hawaii. There are also Humpback Whales in the Atlantic Ocean and in the Pacific Ocean surrounding the NW, W, SW, S, and SE coasts. It all depends on the time of year as to where the Humpback Whales will be as well as where they have grown up and lived their whole life.

A mother whale stays with its young for at least a year.
The Humpback whale can found in oceans and seas around the world, as they migrate as far as 16,000 miles each year. See the related link below for a range map and more information:
Female humpback whales typically breed every two or three years. The gestation period is 11.5 months. Some females have been known to breed in two consecutive years. The peak months for birth are January, February, July, and August. There is usually a 1-2 year period between humpback births.
New versions of humpback whale songs spread from Australia to French Polynesia over a period of 2 years. The songs started in the west by the males and over time has spread.
You can see a whale if you go whale watching, you would probably be able to find a whale watching tour available in most ocean side cities ---- Humpback whales can be found along the west coast of America - California and up as far as Alaska, depending on the time of year. Boat trips run frequently, to allow you to view these magnificent creatures close-up.
The best months to watch for whales in Maui are during whale season. Whale season is from December to early May. One of the best ways to whale watch is to take a whale watching tour out on the open ocean. If you go on a whale watch during whale season, many tour operators will guarantee whale sightings (or you get to go again for free!) An alternative for those on a tight budget is to simply whale watch from land for free.
Humpback whales have 1 calf about every 3 years. People don't know when a humpback whale stops producing calves. Female humpbacks reproduction varies according to the individual whales. Not all migrate to breeding grounds each year, with some females taking 'breaks' between calves. However, there are many females who have been seen returning annually for several years in a row, producing calves each year, returning to mate, then back again the next year! Then they may take 1 to 2 years off before repeating. It is believed that humpbacks can continue to have estrus into their 40s or 50s. It is still unknown how long humpbacks live and will be a few years before answers unfold, according to Dr. Jim Darling of Whale Trust.
