From what I read, they road them out on the surface. I do not remember the reason.
I don't think there was a hard and fast rule but the CO had to consider the ship's saftey. If there was a need to resurface before the weather cleared it was a risky operation. You can't see or hear if you are coming up under something. The boat is unstable and a severe roll or pitch could realese the high pressure air being blown in to the main ballast tanks allowing them to reflood and depleating the air banks for another try.
