Could a moon with twice the tidal pull change oceanic currents?

The setting is Earth with the ordinary moon moving as per usual, but this planet also has a moon with stronger tidal pull that moves in an elliptical orbit and comes to its closest point to Earth every fourth year.

How would this impact oceanic currents? Would the stronger moon pull them out of their usual pattern when it is on its closest point?

Central to this question is the elliptical orbit of the moon with the stronger pull and the time it uses between reaching it's closest point. Similar questions only asking about two earthlike moons do therefor not answer my question.
