Morgan Cibilic is the only Australian surfer left in the New Zealand Pro draw after he beat compatriot Liam O'Brien.
World champions Molly Picklum and Tyler Wright lost their quarter-finals and fellow Australian Jack Robinson was eliminated in the third round as competition resumed at Manu Bay on Saturday after a six-day break.
Five-time world champion Carissa Moore is on track for her first event win since returning to the World Surf League this season as a wildcard.
In the semi-finals she will face fellow Hawaiian Bettylou Sakura Johnson, who eliminated Picklum in their quarter-final.
After losing her first five heats to Picklum, Johnson has now won their past three match-ups.
The 16.33 to 14.27 result on Saturday gave Johnson her first quarter-final win this season.
