It depends on the type of waterspout.

Typical waterspouts form by a different mechanism from ordinary tornadoes and are generally weaker. Wind speeds are typically between 40 and 50 mph and rarely exceed 70 mph.

Tornadic waterspouts are ordinary tornadoes that just happen to be on water. They are just as strong as their land based cousins. Wind speeds are usually less than 110 mph, but can, con rare occasions, exceed 300 mph.
