Claim 0:
1. A system for generating waves in a body of water, said body of water comprising a water volume enclosed by an enclosure, said water volume characterized by a surface and a bottom/floor, said system comprising:
a plurality of chamber assemblies disposed at least partially below the surface of the water volume, said plurality of chamber assemblies aligned along a length of the body of water, wherein each of the chamber assemblies comprises:
a first chamber having a first portion disposed entirely below the surface of the water volume and extending toward the bottom/floor of the water volume, with a bottom of the first portion disposed below the surface of the water volume and a top of the first portion above the bottom of the first portion;
an aperture proximate the bottom of the first portion, establishing a flow path from the water volume into the first portion;
a vent proximate the top of the first portion, said vent operable to open to allow air to escape from the first portion, thereby allowing water to flow through the aperture, from the enclosure and into the first portion;
an air supply in fluid communication with the first portion, said air supply operable to inject air into the first portion to force water in the first portion out of the first portion and through the aperture and into the enclosure; and

a control system operable to control the vent and air supply of each of the chamber assemblies to open and close the vent of each of the chamber assemblies and control the air supply of each of the chamber assemblies to force water in the first portion out of the first portion, through the aperture and into the enclosure; wherein, each chamber of the plurality of chamber assemblies further comprises:
a second portion proximate the first portion, in fluid communication with the first portion and the body of water, said second portion being open at a top thereof thereby providing a fluid pathway from the water volume of the body of water, downwardly through the second portion;
a baffle separating the first portion from the second portion, and extending from the top of the first portion toward the bottom of the first portion, said baffle terminating above the bottom of the first portion thereby establishing the aperture.
