Your description of your issue isn't the clearest, so I can mostly guess what you are seeing and the result you are seeing in this area IS correct...

The Waterline toolpath is not good at cutting horizontal areas....so the wide move you see across that area denoted by the larger step is what should be expected on a flat surface

you can also see that as the surfaces begins the top of the radius, the toolpath gopes back into the smaller stepovers.

To me that's not the ideal geometry for utilizing Waterline.

I would likely either look to a Blend toolpath or I might stack up a Surface Finish Contour and a Flowline
