You know, to be totally honest... if I was going to have a giant squid attack as a thing, complete with tentacles, I'd probably run it as each tentacle being a separate 'creature' the PCs could target. There's no good story reason to prevent people from attacking a huge aquatic creature just because part of it is underwater.

Spreads go AROUND cover, not through it. Only specific spells can go through cover, and even then only when they say that they do.

From the recently released Aquatic Adventures book:
Due to water’s surface tension, creatures attempting to attack through water’s surface count its surface as total cover (if a creature is partially submerged, it gains proportionally less cover); this applies even to spells that require attack rolls.
The exception to this rule is attacks that deal piercing damage—these can penetrate the water’s surface but take a –2 penalty to do so. This is a change from the rule on cover from the water’s surface in the Core Rulebook, but it allows actions like spearfishing and firing harpoons from whaling ships.
