I've also noticed that at periscope depth the opposite happens - my conning tower will sometimes pop up over the surface, exposing me to those meanie destroyers. Would it be better to go deeper and only go to periscope when not moving?
I'm not so perturbed about that one as I could potentially see it happening in real life.

In real life you would not be able to use the periscope at speeds faster than 2-3 knots as the vibrations created by the ship's movement would make it pretty useless. At faster speeds you would risk damage to the 'scope or loss of it entirely. The game doesn't really model this so it's up to you whether or not you want to discipline yourself to use it according to its real life limitations.
But yeah, in rough enough seas at periscope depth it is possible for the conning tower to be temporarily exposed. Makes sense, though - if the seas are heavy enough to overwhelm it by that much when you're surfaced, they're probably also heavy enough to do the opposite when you're at p-depth.
