Well it would get you arrested (or sent to the hospital for psychiatric evaluation) but whether the district attorney (prosecutor) files charges is another matter. All depends on the definition of "willfully and lewdly". Mere nakedness may not be lewd. Some naked people may be high on drugs, another misdemeanor. Depends on what the naked person was doing or reasons given for being naked. This law most often applies to masturbating in public and exposing oneself to passing children. Here is the Ca law.
314. Every person who willfully and lewdly, either:
1. Exposes his person, or the private parts thereof, in any
public place, or in any place where there are present other persons
to be offended or annoyed thereby; or,
2. Procures, counsels, or assists any person so to expose himself
or take part in any model artist exhibition, or to make any other
exhibition of himself to public view, or the view of any number of
persons, such as is offensive to decency, or is adapted to excite to
vicious or lewd thoughts or acts,
is guilty of a misdemeanor.
