Yes. The effect of this is seen on tidal water. Tidal water is a "wave" following the moon around the earth as the moon moves.
The gravitational force between the Earth and Moon causes the tides. As the Moon orbits the Earth, its gravity pulls on the oceans, creating two high tides and two low tides every day. When the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun align, we experience higher high tides (spring tides) and lower high tides (neap tides).
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
Some things that happen:* You see the Moon in different phases, as the angle Sun-Earth-Moon changes. * The tides, caused by the Moon and the Sun, become strongest when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, and weakest when they are at right angles.

The moon's gravity attracts the water.

It actually doesnt much. The main contributing factor to the movement of the water and tides is the moon. Every day= 1 revolution around earth for the moon, so the tides go with the moon. So actaully, the rotation of the earth really doesnt effect it much.
Earth also affect the Moon, but since there was no oceans or surface water on the moon, the effect is not noticeable in any visible way.
The moon's gravitational pull creates tides on Earth's surface water. As the moon orbits, its gravitational force causes water to bulge out toward the moon, creating high tides. This effect is more noticeable in areas closer to the moon.
The moon influences the Earth by pulling the Earth towards it. This effect produces about 1 m rise of the oceans on one side of the Earth (the side closest to the moon). This causes the tides and when in line with the Sun both gravity from the Sun and the moon effect the Earth adding up and causing a much larger pull which causes the high tides.
the sun has a much smaller effect than the moon. the moon pulls anything toward it wherever it is over earth, which is usually ocean due to the fact that earth is almost all water, so the moon pulls ocean water toward it, causing rougher seas
