Ripple moving in wet vale (7)
I believe the answer is:
wavelet
'ripple' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'moving in wet vale' is the wordplay.
'moving in' indicates anagramming the letters.
'wet'+'vale'='wetvale'
'wetvale' with letters rearranged gives 'WAVELET'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
