Homonyms by the Seashore

Dig around for the seaside homonyms (like sea-see or shore-sure) in these
riddles!
- A bucket made
For clams or sand;
A shade of white,
No color, bland!
- To stop from entry,
A sandy band;
A word for "the courts,"
"Sweet" for gourmand.
- It’s great and good,
And all okay;
To surge or billow,
Up and away!
- It’s water
Rushing into shore;
A knot that’s tight,
And so secure.
- A friend, a chum,
A noble one;
To search and scan,
A dock outrun.
- A curling wave,
That crowns my pate;
A stylist or searcher,
A hair brusher’s date.
- A swell unfurls,
My hand says "hi,"
To change a rule,
And let you go by.
