According to the National Weather Service, the advisory includes Barnstable, Dukes and Nantucket counties.
Large, breaking waves of four-to-10-feet can be expected in the surf zone, making for dangerous swimming and surfing conditions along with localized beach erosion.
Inexperienced swimmers should stay out of the water due to the dangerous conditions.
