Australian surfers Julian Wilson, Jack Freestone and Soli Bailey are still waiting for the action to resume at the Pipe Masters in Hawaii.

The Aussies have reached the last 16 of the tournament, which has been put on hold this week due to a small swell in Oahu.

Irrespective of other results, Queenslander Wilson will join Owen Wright as Australia's two representatives at Tokyo 2020 if he defeats Yago Dora and books a place in the last eight.

Wilson is 11th in the World Surf League rankings and progression to the quarter-finals would make it impossible for Freestone to overtake him.

The next call will be made at Pipeline on Wednesday (Thursday 4.30am AEDT).
