Why is my cabomba doing this?

There's no current or anything bending it like this...

it has a light source from that side of the tank, is any natural light reaching it? It will grow that way, especially in a morning when there are no tank lights.

Hmm..

That could well be it..

There is a source of indirect sunlight (a window) on that side of the tank, and my lights don't turn on till 9:30..

Should I cover the window?

Turn my aquarium lights on earlier?

you can close the curtains/ blinds. That will help, or you could turn the lights on earlier, its up to you. You could also get some card (or similar material) and place it on that side until the lights come on.

definetly a light source from outside the tank

it is yours what to do, like aaronnorth already said.
