Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

Broadcast media relayed a report of a waterspout in Terrebonne Bay southeast of Cocodrie.

The wider storm

A tropical upper-tropospheric trough (TUTT) low was moving westward across the northern Gulf of Mexico. This feature brought with it, abundant moisture throughout the column as well as a focus for storms to develop. As storms began to develop in the morning hours along coastal areas, one interacted with a sea/land-breeze boundary which resulted in a waterspout forming over Terrebonne Bay. It remained offshore.

Began near Terrebonne Bay Station (trbl1) (29.1747, -90.5700).
