I seem to recall this is the same issue with flights from LAX to/from Oxnard.

A little from column A, and a little from column B. We can distinguish partially between the two if we search for these flights as connectors to other flights. I searched PSP-SFO on these days and found routings PSP-LAX-SFO and SFO-LAX-PSP for a grand total of $515. I searched again just for PSP-LAX and can confirm that it was about $951 minimum.
Amtrak is $36. I'd take that.
