This is layer 2 or 3. It will be covered by the next few layers but I feel like it shouldn't be this fugly. I'm using Cura's Standard Quality except for temp which is set to 205. The filament is Inland PLA.

Does that top surface feel ridged? To me this looks more like an issue with either overextrusion or z offset too low than temperature.

I second z offset. Weird that this happens only at a certain regular "column". Could be hiding an underextruded strand on the level below. In that case your temp might not be stable.
