In short, the moon wobbles. At least, it does to our eyes. A casual glance skyward won't reveal this, but when a full month of lunar views gets compressed into 12 seconds, as in the visualization below, it's impossible to miss. This rocking like a ship at sea is called libration, from the Latin for balance scale.

So, about that moon wobble … Last week, NASA published a new study in the journal Nature Climate Change that found rising sea levels plus higher tides caused by an oscillation in the moon's orbit will dramatically increase the number of sunny day floods experienced in U.S. coastal communities.. The Bay Area is one of the most populous and flood-threatened shorelines of the entire West Coast.

What is a 'moon wobble'? Unlike the Chandler Wobble, which describes the movements in the Earth's orbit, a moon wobble describes the fluctuations in the moon's orbit - with wobbles

In fact, the moon can vary as much as 5 degrees away from a perfect alignment at new and full moons. During those times, the combined pull of the sun and moon are at their weakest. High tides are thus at their lowest. For half of the moon wobble's 18.6-year cycle, "high tides are higher than average," Mitchum says.

It is not surprising then, that news of a "wobble" in the moon's orbit—one with implications for the growing problem of U.S. coastal flooding — has piqued the curiosity of many. So, what exactly is this "wobble?" The word wobble suggests a breakdown in the regular and predictable motion of the moon and its influence on the tides.

The Moon rotates once every 27.3 days on average, but this rotation rate is not quite uniform. The lunar equator tilts 1.54° to the ecliptic plane and precesses with an 18.6-year period.

https://coastalreview.org/2021/08/lunar-wobble-gets-attention-but-sea-levels-are-the-problem/
Although the wobble is imperceptible to people, what is important is that when the moon is on the lower part of the wobble, it pulls the tides down with it, meaning that high tide would be lower. Then when it moves to the higher part of the wobble, it will do the reverse — pull the high tide higher than usual.
