Because of the concentrations of ATP and ADP in the cell, the conditions are very favorable for the use of the hydrolysis of ATP as an energy source. In fact, many processes with positive ÎG values can take place when coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP.
78-84 degrees: Race directors use their judgement to allow or not allow wetsuits at this range. Over 84 degrees: Wetsuits not allowed. The range of 50 to 78 degrees is therefore the ideal range for using a wetsuit. Any warmer, and the swimmer may actually overheat due to the wetsuitâs insulative qualities. Any colder, and the water is dangerously frigid for a swim.
Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. Siesta sea temperatures are minimum in early to mid February. Surfers should use a 2mm long sleeve shorty or a 3/2mm spring wetsuit if the wind is up. Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Siesta can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages.
