There is a high tide on the side of the Earth that is opposite to the Moon.
This is because of the differences in the strength of the Moon's gravity felt at different places on Earth.
The water on that far side is subject to a smaller gravitational pull than the center of the Earth and is so is "left behind", forming a tidal bulge.
