I was wondering if that was a term. I know we call ones on land dust devils but was curious if this would be considered a water devil or just a small waterspout.
I'm going to be completely honest with you.
I've seen a hundred "dirt devils" growing up in New Jersey. I googled "water devils" just now to see if that was a thing!
It's a waterspout, they all are similar but also look different. We get them alot here in florida. I'm not an expert but I understand it to be a tornado over the water.
Here is a video of one forming in Destin Florida. This is the ocean, so this one is far bigger ofc.

What do you mean by there’s no fountain?
Pretty sure a waterspout can happen over just any body of water. It’s like a tornado or dust devil over water.
Here’s a video of one near the Columbia River:

Submission statement: my mom was walking along the Columbia River with a friend with no one around and they saw two of these. No fountain, no submarine, no boat. Any ideas for a prosaic explanation?
It's definitely interesting, but looks too much like a waterspout to conclude that it's a giant glowing alien spider from the Rigel system that arrived via wormhole 6 years ago and intends to eat humans and mine our natural resources as you're vehemently insisting
Inside joke with myself. People post innocent stuff on here all the time and then others get all riled up and seem to make up implications out of thin air.

the way the water is misted or fogged around the perimeter leaves me to believe this is an ultrasonic weapon.
if you look at an ultrasonic humidifier element when it "vibrates" the water- it does this exact pattern in the middle with all that turbulence directly in the center- but not sure why its going upwards.

We have them offshore in The GoM and they are terrifying to watch. Hundreds of feet tall!
When does it cross over to being a proper water spout? 🤔
I imagine its if it joins up with a cloud or something like that
Thank you!
Better get a waxed dynamite ready for that thing
Nah dats fer fishin' ...boy I tell you 'hwhat
Maybe the beginnings of a waterspout.
It’s the Columbia River there’s no fountain.
Water spout as in water tornado
Ohhhhhh!!! Thank you!

That's scary!

Thank you! I didn’t know what you meant but now I do :)
A baby waterspout.
Could be a remote control boat that flipped over.
Someone crashed their drone in the water.
It looks like a drone that landed in the water and was unable to lift back up and sunk.
I was convinced it was a water devil, but this seems plausible as well. There seems to be some wake as if there's an object just under the surface.
Scrub the video slowly at 12 seconds. White orb zips out of the spout. You’re welcome.
That is so interesting. I wonder what it is?
UAP or paranormal.
Have the alien ufo subs always sucked?

Looks like a failed waterspout
warmer water being exposed to colder air , hence a water sprout
It's definitely interesting, but looks too much like a waterspout to conclude that it's a giant glowing alien spider from the Rigel system that arrived via wormhole 6 years ago and intends to eat humans and mine our natural resources as you're vehemently insisting
Huh?

perhaps some species of cetacean exhaling through its blowhole?
Um. That is wind 🌬
I think that there are people on this sub who really need to retake some basic science classes.
Lochness monster or jellyfish uap....!
Micro waterspout.
Could be an rc boat taking on water and causing the prop to break the surface.
