I hope this helps you understand the system better.

I'm assuming this is only for persicope depth (and less)? I wouldn't see the wind speed having an effect on a sub deeper than that - so is this the case?

It is only at periscope depth and not always. Also, as soon as you hit 20 metres any effect is immediately gone.
It is my understanding that in the real world the wave action as far as rocking is concerned could be felt as deep as 35+ metres.
