Do a search of this site and you will find plenty of info on this topic.
Just don't get your hopes up, because in California there is loads of public land, but only a little of it is good habitat supporting wild pigs. And it will be crawling with other hunters... If you want any guarantee of success at all, then save your cash and book with a guide. Probably 90% or more of the pigs are on private land and the few on public are just passing through. Good luck....

Welcome to the world of public land hunting frustration! No actually hunting on public land isn't necessarily frustrating (not too productive, but any hunt is a good hunt). However, hunting FOR good public land with hogs is a true exercise in aggravation, though.
Strongest recommendation? Get out and hit the Los Padres NF and cover some ground. Talk to some locals (if they'll talk), and see what you can find. It's a big forest, and I'd be willing to bet there are some honeyholes for the diligent hunter.
Camp Roberts and Fort Hunter Liggett can be good too. Good hunting!
