Shelter from a storm, perhaps (4)
I believe the answer is:
cove
'shelter from a storm perhaps' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cove that I've seen before include "Small bay or Dickensian chap" , "Rum fellow found in a small inlet" , "Small inlet or slang man" , "Sheltered accommodation" , "Small bay or slangy man" .)
