IMO what helps me is drinking a lot of water, cutting out some sodium out of my diet (I'm crazy on the hot sauce) and hitting the sauna.

How do you know it's water retention? What do you cut down to in terms of bodyfat percentage before adding carbs/calories back in to gain mass?
IF water retention really is a problem (and it's usually only a noticeable problem for people who are relatively lean [ ~10% ]), you can look into taking a diuretic supplement. But as stated above, drinking more water, being mindful of foods high in sodium, etc. are practices you can apply daily. I wouldn't recommend a diuretic on a daily basis... but if you're going on vacation or something like that, it can help.
