IIRC, if the game decides to send enemies your way, it will send anything that is within 30 minutes of your location. For destroyers, that's about 15 nautical miles away. For aircraft it's a lot more.
Fortunately Portsmouth and Cherbourg are too far away, but you should expect company. Good thing the weather is bad, the planes will have a hard time spotting you.
You can hear farther than you can see, so I would suggest leaving at full speed on the surface, with frequent hydrophone checks to keep clear of any contacts... and heed the words of desirableroasted as quoted above.
With a little luck, you'll survive.
