From the picture I'm pretty sure your walls just get too thin. If your line width matches your nozzle (it should but doesn't have to) and your nozzle is 0.4mm then Cura insists on 0.8mm wall thickness.
But you can get around this by checking the box "print thin walls" and get about 2x thinner.
Or you can set the line width to a value smaller than your nozzle width. Usually you can go down to 75% without losing quality so 0.3mm for a 0.4mm nozzle isn't too bad.
You can also buy smaller nozzles. Typically 0.1mm is the smallest available.

Thank you! I adjusted the nozzle size in Cura to 0.2mm (it wouldn't let me show 0.1mm) and it seemed to cut it down a lot. I have ordered some 0.2mm nozzles now and hopefully that will work well. Since I am printing in PETG, I am worried about clogging at 0.1mm.
Here comes Cura 5.9 and in this stable release we have lots of material and printer profiles for UltiMaker printers, including the newly released Sketch Sprint. Additionally, scarf seams have been introduced alongside even more print settings and improvements. Check out the rest of this article to find out the details on all of that and more
