Send a signal about fresh bread found on the beach? (9)
I believe the answer is:
windbreak
'found on the beach?' is the definition.
(a windbreak might be used on a beach)
'send a signal about fresh bread' is the wordplay.
'send a signal' becomes 'wink' (winking is a kind of signal).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'fresh' indicates an anagram.
'bread' is an anagram of 'dbrea'.
'wink' enclosing 'dbrea' is 'WINDBREAK'.
(Another definition for windbreak that I've seen is " wall giving shelter".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
