the distant savage lair refers to the fierce place that the wind is coming from which Dickens states is the sea after the comma
Dickens is comparing the sea to a feirce secluded place where the wind blows out of to give a creepy and unknown feeling. Remember this is where Pip is describing what is around him as he discovers what his imagination really is.

actually it reads "the low leaden line beyond was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind was rushing was the sea", it is from Great Expectations.
I believe it was his way of describing the place from which the wind was coming from i.e. the sea
