Overview

Ceres is a spot located on the east coast of Texel Island, facing the Wadden Sea. This spot benefits from exposure to east and northeast winds with tidal conditions typical of the Wadden Sea. The vast tidal flats at low tide and tidal currents require an intermediate level. The spot offers unique conditions between flat water and small chop.
