The data is from Copernicus, but sea surface height (SHW) is a 3D matirx

clc
dir = 'C:\Users\Madison-Riley\Downloads\';
ncfile = 'PotentialTemp.nc'; % name of data file from copernicus

lat = ncread([dir,ncfile], 'latitude');
depth = ncread([dir,ncfile], 'depth');
time = ncread([dir,ncfile], 'time');
% note 'squeeze' function gets rid of the single dimension (depth=1):
temp= squeeze(ncread([dir,ncfile], 'thetao')); % Sea water potential temperature (long,lat,depth(=1),time)

I don't see a variable SHW in your code. The only transpose operation I see is a 2D array, which should work.
Please share the full error message (all the red text). Please save your variable lon, lat, depth, time, and temp to a mat file and attach that to your post using the paperclip icon.

I apologize I included the wrong code, but I changed it to pagetranspose and I get an error saying Matrix dimensions must agree.
dir = 'C:\Users\Madison-Riley\Desktop\Thesis\Copernicus Data\'; % change this path to your working directory
ncfile = 'Sea.Surface.Height.nc'; % name of data file from copernicus
ncdisp([dir,ncfile])
% Dimensions: [longitude = 121; latitude = 181; depth = 1; time = 25 ]
% time = ncread([dir,ncfile],'time');
lat = ncread([dir,ncfile],'latitude');
lon = ncread([dir,ncfile],'longitude');
SWH = ncread([dir,ncfile],'VHM0');
% plot wind:
clf
pcolor(lon,lat,pagetranspose(SWH));
shading flat;

Your nc file has lat, long, one depth, and multiple times, making it a 4 dimensional array. You are trying to pcolor() the entire 4d array at the same time. pcolor can only handle 2d data.
The error with transpose is a side show. You could permute() [2 1 3 4] instead of ' but the resulting array would still be 4d and pcolor cannot handle that. You should extract the data for one time for each pcolor, possibly looping animating over time

I could reproduce the same error message as follows:
X = rand(3,3,4)
X =
X(:,:,1) = 0.6706 0.0303 0.5018 0.0730 0.1938 0.2540 0.8822 0.3482 0.4408 X(:,:,2) = 0.4965 0.3385 0.5116 0.1462 0.7965 0.0287 0.5615 0.5188 0.1173 X(:,:,3) = 0.8568 0.4259 0.6431 0.0039 0.5149 0.5037 0.5629 0.4344 0.3892 X(:,:,4) = 0.6134 0.9156 0.9039 0.1609 0.5476 0.5949 0.7602 0.2534 0.4676

TRANSPOSE does not support N-D arrays. Use PAGETRANSPOSE/PAGECTRANSPOSE to transpose pages or PERMUTE to reorder dimensions of N-D arrays.
The best bet is replace this with pagetranspose as it says:
pagetranspose(X)
ans =
ans(:,:,1) = 0.2020 0.8862 0.2749 0.8334 0.3553 0.0783 0.6238 0.4919 0.9753 ans(:,:,2) = 0.7364 0.8973 0.6622 0.7870 0.0131 0.8621 0.1376 0.8198 0.8603 ans(:,:,3) = 0.1506 0.9980 0.8282 0.7839 0.0601 0.6889 0.4893 0.2768 0.0390 ans(:,:,4) = 0.8224 0.1869 0.4129 0.7513 0.9507 0.7576 0.9339 0.7996 0.8677
