1. A system for producing a flow of water having a substantially constant pressure from waves, the system comprising: at least one pumping assembly being adapted to provide simultaneously a pressurized flow of air and a pressurized flow of water from substantially vertical movements of a float; at least one compressor assembly in which at least a first piston is movably located between a first air chamber and a first water chamber, said first air chamber being supplied by said pressurized flow of air from the pumping device and said first water chamber being supplied by said pressurized flow of water from the pumping device; a first controllable inlet valve, which is connected to said first water chamber and through which said pressurized water flows into said first water chamber upon opening of said first inlet valve and wherein said first inlet valve is closed as the first piston reaches a topmost position.
