Perhaps yes.
I have noticed that some brush entities block TraceLines, even if they shouldn't, such as certain types of glass being opaque for bots. In order to fix that, I found out that you need to clear the FL_WORLDBRUSH flag of the entity after it is spawned.
So if the FL_WORLDBRUSH flag can block a TraceLine, you might want to add it temporarily to your water entity before issuing a trace from the top down. In my opinion this could work.
