No, the moon does.
Back when the moon still rotated, earth's gravity would have induced a small amount of tidal motion in the lunar regolith, just as the moon induces tides in earth's crustal rock. These tides are not large, just fractions of an inch (millimeters). The tides in free flowing material like water get much higher (measured in feet or a meters).
Today (and for untold eons) the moon has been tidally locked to earth, and rocks back and forth very little during its month long journey around the earth. This rocking motion exerts tidal effects on the lunar surface, but again it is very small.

However "tidal wave" is also used to refer to giant waves, or tsunamis, that are caused usually by an earthquake or a volcanic disturbance under the ocean which forces great amounts of water away (or towards) the epicenter. This is what causes the waves.
