Definitely the tides are a huge factor in the development of life but given the fact that the earth would still rotate the wind would still agitate the water and the waves would come in to the shore. Life mostly developed in the oceans from what I've read, not on the land/water interface though there is a good chance that without the tides the first animals to really adapt to living on the land would have had a much harder time to make the transition.

This creature still lives like that:
