The magnetoconductance G in chaotic quantum dots at medium/high magnetic fluxes Phi is calculated by means of a tight binding Hamiltonian on a square lattice. Chaotic dots are simulated by introducing diagonal disorder on surface sites of L x L clusters. It is shown that when the ratio W/L is sufficiently large, W being the leads width, G increases steadily showing a maximum at a flux Phi_max ~ W. Bulk disordered ballistic cavities (with an amount of impurities proportional to L) does not show this effect. On the other hand, for magnetic fluxes larger than that for which the cyclotron radius is of the order of L/2, the average magnetoconductance inceases almost linearly with the flux with a slope proportional to W^2, shows a maximum and then decreases stepwise. These results closely follow a theory proposed by Beenakker and van Houten to explain the magnetoconductance of two point contacts in series.
