Local (point/spot) lights currently do not have shadows on SingleLayerWater materials. SLW uses forward-like clustered shading and loops over all local lights directly in the pixel shader. In order to support shadows for these lights, shadow maps would need to be sampled in this loop.
There's no existing public thread on this issue, so head over to Questions & Answers just mention UE-171689 in the post.
