I wonder if changing the texture size of the water is what the OP did(judging by the first pic). Cause the water texture does not look default. The texture is in a different direction(at least it looks that way to my old eyes, lol).

 In the material lab under the Component Palette(the greenish button top left corner)Edit Texture floating window,  then change the x,y,z of texture to different values. This will change size of waves textures making it look more or less wavey. This is what I adjusted in my gallery pic. Just guessing here, lol.
