This NASA page has some really cool simple visualizations of how tides work. They are kind of strange in ways you don't expect.

Now think about pouring a bucket of water out on a table. It’s easier to slide the water around on the table rather than lift it directly upwards. When the Moon’s gravity pulls at Earth, the water doesn’t float outward, it just gets pushed and squeezed around on the globe, directed by both gravitational pull and other forces, until it ultimately ends up bulging out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest away.

I don't know how to upload gifs to lemmy but check them out on the NASA page they are very satisfying and cool and explain the science wonderfully!

So basically ... like Miller's Planet?

Tidal currents are the least outlandish phenomenon. Most planets have moons and those that do all have tides. Most known ones don't have oceans and land.

That being said the tides tend to be stronger in e.g. the north sea as opposed to the Mediterranean.

Makes you appreciate how much daily life depends on celestial geometry.
