A water spot is a small vertical spinning mass that is over water. This is caused by clashing pressures. Water spouts are generally weak but can be very dangerous to ships or buildings if they come on land.

A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water and is connected to a cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a nonsupercell tornado over water, and brings the water upward. Also, it is weaker than most of its land counterparts.

It certainly does do with weather, here's the definition of a waterspout:
1) A rapidly rotating column of air, funnel shaped or tubular, extending from the base of a cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud down to the surface of an ocean or lake and usually comparable in intensity to a dust devil over land. A tornado occurring over water is sometimes referred to as a waterspout.
(2) A tornado over water. Also a rapidly rotating column of air extending from the base of a cloud down to the surface of an ocean or lake, usually comparable in intensity to a dust devil over land.

A tornado, may be even a small one, over water. It sucks the water up in the funnel, and does so even as a dirt devil (water devil).
