We obtained EUV photometry, optical spectroscopy, and multicolor optical photometry for WX Cet during its 1998 November superoutburst. WX Cet is only the second short-period, low mass transfer cataclysmic variable (TOAD) to ever be observed in the EUV. Our determined superhump period is consistent with that found by Kato et al. (0.059 day), and we confirm that superhumps are gray in the optical. The optical spectra provide direct evidence that the line emission region is optically thick, and our multiwavelength photometric measurements are used to determine the inner accretion disk and boundary layer temperatures during superoutburst. Using a determined distance to WX Cet of ∼130 pc, we find T_ID=21,000 K and T_BL∼72,500 K. Both values are in good agreement with that expected by models of the superoutburst continuum being produced by the inner disk and boundary layer.
