Wobble refers to the rotary motion of an object - on a axis of any angle, has a lopsided or off-balenced hemisphere or side(or multiple sides). When this object is in motion it will move in an uneven fashion everytime this particular hemishere(s) travels around said axis. This is probably the true reason the Earth has tides in its oceans, due to "planitary wobble". kiss me you fool

The tides don't follow a pattern that would suggest the influence of wobble. They follow a pattern that suggests the effects of the Moon pulling almost imperceptibly on the Earth due to gravitational attraction.

I don't know the actual evidence and observations that support the latter explanation, but you should be able to find it in books on astrophysics, maritime physics, etc.

If you calculate the expected tide using the force of gravity of the moon, gravity of earth, mass of water, earth's orientation with respect to the moon etcetera you will end up with a number very close to the actual tides.
