To my nose Wavechild does not have strong aquatic notes and I do not get a alot of coconut from it, more coconut water maybe. I would describe the scent as juicy warm/sunny watermelon with some cacao nuances in the drydown in a very classy way. It is a true happy scent, I really enjoy wearing it in the warm weather. A very inoffensive, even Office friendly daytime fragrance. My twin sister does not seem to like it and it appears the opinions are different, so better test before blind-buying.
