If you play SH3, one of the 'Radiolog' mod messages is a real one from mid-September 1939 ordering boats to stop using the Channel.

He modeled it fairly well. Even in 39 it's a pain with all the air patrols. The trawlers you can ignore, but the air patrols give you so precious little time to recharge your batteries.
Sure you can sit there and wait the day out and conserve battery power, but at that point you'd have been better off going around. And like an above poster said, lots of easy pickings along the way. Plenty of large convoys too up till Norway.
