Welcome to Subsim, Olamagato!
The US Navy claims (
http://www.navy.mil/navydata/cno/n87/faq.html, Point 21) that in violent storms 'wave motion can reach 400 feet or more below the surface'.
From a game-play point-of-view I don't think it makes a big difference whether you use periscope depth, 20m, or 30m. The crucial point is that you have to submerge and thus, your speed is reduced.
