Water near the shore or a sand bar.「Sand」(in English also) is often characterized as being many individual grains that are all「similar in kind.」The light motion of waves again and again is also「water flow that is similar in kind」and sometimes does in fact contain some of the same water as the waves before.
　And now, for the alternative meaning, the one that was supposed to get the laughs among all the other sages: elements of「fluids, flow of homosexual men」who often engage in anal coitus, and the human rectum is endowed with very few mucus releasing glands (unlike a bird's cloaca, as a comparison) so that the motion does tend to resemble「repeated foamy waves crashing into a sandy shore」with the flesh of the rectum moving in and out the same way as incoming waves push sand up the beach, and outgoing waves pull sand out again (…those Chinese sages…).
　A Chinese euphemism for anal coitus refers to a gritty sensation, sandy conditions, foamy flecks in wavelike motions, and so on.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
