Waves can affect torpedoes to some extent. I'm not sure just how much. It depends on the relevant files in the mods. I think they usually stay on track, and as far as breaking surface, I'm not sure how much that matters in the game. Most torp failures are either duds or premature detonations.

Waves might also explain why you didn't hear ships within visual range. Normally you would be able to hear them, but know that your soundman will not usually report contacts that you already see.
