Actually, I don't think this is wind. The problem is that a wind jutsu would work differently depending on the terrain you used it on. Thus when you were on the water it would cause a spray rather then a dirt cloud. Change the mechanism of how the dirt is placed into the air, such as a violent jolt of the ground throwing dirt particles into the air or a small wave of dirt crashing down to form a concealing cloud of dust and particulates. This is very workable, you just have to explain how it is done.
