Youths with Laertes breaking wind (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

southeasterly

'wind' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'youths with laertes breaking' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'youths' put after 'laertes' is 'laertesyouths'.
'laertesyouths' is an anagram of 'SOUTHEASTERLY'.

(Another definition for southeasterly that I've seen is " wind".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
