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.

z offset / nozzle height seems to be the thing. I've raised it up and it looks better. After that I played with the temp a bit and it seems to be happier around 210-215 though there is more stringing.
So far, all attempts at ironing have been a disaster, both zig zag and concentric. I'm going to continue dialing in the z offset and temp before ironing.
Yeah, that looks much better. Do you have a self leveling bed? If your bed has a high point that is not captured in its measurements its possible that your still getting just a bit more drag in that specific spot.
One thing you can do to test, is to move the print to a different spot on the bed in your slicer.
