If the weather became to severe for posted lookouts the boat would submerge. I never recall reading about a WW2 sub on the surface without lookouts and depending only on instruments for detection.

Diesel boats rode out storms on the surface because of the dangers of capsizing when either diving or surfacing and the limited time they could remain underwater (a couple of days or so) before running out of oxygen.
