TF/Convoy intercept help

I often attack lonely merchants so attacking convoys is new. Although, I once "ran" into a TF and popped a few fish before disappearing, so that doesn't count!
The convey is traveling from the NW. Do I turn into the convoy or try and cut them off by going top speed to an area perpendicular to a possible future position? The other question is when do I go to periscope depth? I have gone when the escorts were 5nm away, which I think is too far b/c I can't pass them below water.

TIA!
